Where Do You Think an Apocalyptic Story Should Begin?

So I've been thinking about making a post apocalyptic story you know, like zombie apocalypse only it won't necessarily be zombies plaguing the world. You know the drill basically something has happened to cause society to collapse and people to fight for their survival. I planned to start the story 3 years after D Day butnI wanted to know the opinions of others on this.

Do you think that an apocalyptic story is best started after to leave a bit of a mystery as to what's going on and why to be revealed and explained later or do you believe it's better to start at the beginning of the apocalypse and watch things unravel?
