Plants have taken over, turning manicured lawns into overgrown fields. Weeds grow in cracks in the roads, eventually forming a layer of nutrient-poor topsoil where clover fields take root. Plants and ivy take root in stone and masonry work, and begin to damage the foundations of buildings. Wild animals will have found shelter in the abandoned cities. At the Hoover Dam, a mollusk called the Quagga mussel begins to clog the pipelines feeding cooling water to the generators and they shut down. As a result, Las Vegas goes dark. Without the generators running, no water passes through Hoover Dam, and eventually the Colorado River will run dry. Meanwhile, the waters rise in Lake Mead and eventually spill over the dam. Sparked by lightning storms, many wild fires will go unchecked without people to fight them. These fires can burn down entire towns and damage cities such as Chicago, San Francisco and Rome. The charred rubble provides the nitrogen that plants need to grow, and plant life consumes the ruins.
