The world knows just how devastating a nuclear bomb would be, no matter where it is deployed. We’ve seen the aftermath of war and many of us have felt the pain from the loss left in it’s wake. As it turns out, there’s more damage to be had by a nuclear bomb exploding thousands of miles above us. Though there would be limited physical damage or immediate deaths, the loss of America’s power supply would cause mass confusion and chaos.
Wiping out our countries communication grid by generating a massive EMP explosion would prevent emergency response, while all communication and transportation would come to a screeching halt. It’s not that society is incapable of surviving without power but, let’s face it, we have grown dependent upon it.
An electromagnetic pulse is a short burst of energy that has the ability to completely fry any and all electronics and can be brought about by a exploding a nuclear device at high altitude (North Korea is capable of doing this right now) or even just by a solar flare.
A cyber attack or simple physical assault could also take down our highly vulnerable grid. Such an event would send us all back to the stone age as every single electronic device, including the power grid, would be completely destroyed.
Experts have estimated 90% of the American populace would not survive such an attack.

Don’t pacemakers run on DC emp knocks out ac and integrated circuits like computers
nope. not going to be alright. everything will shut down that’s not either hardened against a pulse, or primitive enough. food stops, water stops, and at some point, all the fuel is out of the tanks at the c stores. there is insufficient free standing water, and people die after about three days without water. food, thirty days, max.If the infrastructure goes down, most of us are quite simply going to die. There will be widespread panic within 8 hours.
As long as it wasn’t turned on or powered when it hit it will be fine your generator will work but you will have to replace all the capacitors in any thing you have with a electronic motor but if there is a repeat attack while your generator is running it’s tost
Some of us are ready and will help others city’s are fucked
If our government knows about this it should be ready to answer to whom ever try’s that against U.S. and be ready
Bingo! Yes I have thought all this thru. Still, 330,000,000 reduced to 33,000,000? Wait!!! This may not be a bad thing!!!! Hmmm…..
Rome during the time of the ancients was said to have 20 million people (almost 3 times New York city’s population).
We are not prepared which is why I am a Preppie
John Sigmon We should be learning the ways of the Amish. We should learn aaquaponics to grow food. I am a preppie and hope to provide for my grandchildren
You should be stock piling necessary meds. now
