(I just realized how much trouble Lila will have withstanding the EMP, but it'll probably add to the story rather then take away from it)
Lila was quite lucky. Due to the circumstances of her previous life, she not only had better information about what was going on when the monster attacked, but she was also better prepared. Her basement was quite the shelter. No one disturbed her throughout the day and into the early afternoon. She was well equiped to keep tabs on what was going on outside via computer links and had more then enough supplies to last a week, more if she was careful with it.
However, around four, the ground started shaking, much like it would in one the area's frequent quakes. Lila's basement could withstand it, but for some reason the electronics started to flicker and die. Lila herself started to feel ill, and colapsed to the ground, blacking out for a few minutes.
Upon waking up, Lila's basement was dark. She still did not feel all that good, but the discomfort was only at the level of mild annoyance, rather than anything that would actually slow her down. Despite the shaking, nothing had physically fallen over, off a shelf, or otherwise broken in that manner, but most of her electronics around here were offline.
