ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - If you ever catch wind of a zombie uprising, you may want to get out of St. Louis in a hurry.
St. Louis didn't rank well in a study of the best and worst cities for surviving a zombie apocalypse. It came in 94the place in a ranking of the 200 biggest cities in the US.
Lawn care service Lawn Love ranked each city in 23 key indicators of zombie-preparedness — from the share of the population in good physical health to the number of available homes with basements to hunting-gear access.
St. Louis ranked poorly in the public health category, at No. 153, with low numbers of people who are active and in good health. However both the city's infrastructure and supplies rankings were high, at Nos. 21 and 38 respectively. That's thanks to a lot of large homes with basements and many big supermarkets, hardware stores and shopping centers in the area.
