I don't think an EMP burst would wipe out America, but it would wipe out many US cities.
ReplyDeleteThe folks who are in the most danger in a large scale EMP strike are the ones who reside deep inside America's city centers. The ones most dependent on government services and a service economy based on routine & timely deliveries (of everything) into the zones. City dwellers unused to changing out a light switch or a car tire. Or even drive a car. Unable to repair their own toilet. No planning or preparedness. Concentrated populations, aging infrastructure and social unease at the outset, America's deep blue urban centers are ripe for a large die off if an EMP hits and then does what everyone thinks it can do.
/Fly-over country bumpkins will probably do much better.

ReplyDeleteI rate emp attacks as a 2 on my list of bad things, nukes are 1. It would be very bad. Worse for the idiots who did it. Missiles would fly and the end of the world would be next.

ReplyDeleteWhy is this news? It’s been long speculated in the press and other organs of fiction.
