The loss of our digital capability has been a real world concern. A lot of history is recorded in diaries but in the last couple of decades a lot of paper journaling has given way to blogging. Newspapers are increasingly going under and the Internet is where a lot of news is stored. Future historians will have a very hard time piecing our history together if that giant EMP takes out the digital age.
Another interesting story would be if ALL those disasters happened but on different parts of the planet. Meteors strick Europe, the Rapture happens in the Middle East, zombies overwhelm Australia, Asia is destroyed by nuclear weapons and giant monsters, for example.
The survivors of each then think their apocalypse is the true one which leads to rivalries and war as the Middle Easterners feel superior because of the Rapture but the Australians have learned to control the zombie hordes into an army, etc.
