What I find eerie is that they stroke out Grindavik from the signs: https://twitter.com/grindaviknews/status/1724286780914962487
I know, they are doing it to inform people that they shouldn't go there but it gives it such a post apocalyptic vibe.

Culturally, its because American's won't read a sign and follow the instructions if we can still "do" it. You have to physically block us, and its too expensive to change all the signs.
I looked at a few books on this list, but not every book seems to really be about pre-apocalypse. Pre-Apocalyptic fictions sounds like literary edging :D
Not much really happens, all everybody knows is that doom is imminent. The movies are mainly about how the different characters handle this situation.
That said, I am still waiting for a movie that just suddenly ends with a car crash where the main protagonist dies, fully unrelated to the story.

The word "stroke" can be a verb, but its meaning (to rub lightly) doesn't make any sense in context.
hoke - to give a contrived, falsely impressive, or hokey quality to
e.g. "Strike it off", "I struck it off", "It was stricken off"
same with drive/drove/driven
One of those fun things for ESL folks I am sure.
You also would say panic-stricken, not panic-struck.
Agree it's not universal though, helpfully, and sometimes is it "struck" in non adjectival past participle.
But not in the OP case, I think (much like striking off a list, striking off a sign). I probably should have mentioned that it wasn't universal for struck though.
I could just have confused things.
