Ask yourself, why did ENGLISH writer John Wyndham based his great book about triffids in the USA? That's in such event they got guns that can be used to defend themselves (how effectively is another matter).Comment

I had never heard of "The Night of the Triffids is a science fiction novel by Simon Clark published in 2001". Link. Apparently the (successful) community in England are "rescued" and taken to Merkinland.
