Unlike many other seers who describe three days of darkness, the Bauer aus dem Waldviertel warns the poisoning of the atmosphere will last considerably longer. His exact words: 'The diffuse light and poisoning of the atmosphere lasted considerably longer than just three days.' Anyone who leaves shelter after five or six days will still sustain lasting damage from the poisoned air. Homes must remain sealed for weeks, not days. Only those with stored food, water, and shelter will survive.
