Hey Fellow Survivalist,
The danger of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of hostile actors like Kim Jong-Un, Iran or ISIS gets all the headlines...
And rightfully so. However, one of the greatest potential dangers we face is that of an EMP attack or solar flare hitting our power system.
So what exactly will life look like after an EMP blast? I used to picture a temporary power outage. We would light candles and listen to the radio until the power came back on.
I was wrong…this is not that kind of power outage.
You can expect there to be chaos within minutes of the blast.
These EMP blasts generate a surge in current that can fry anything electrical. This includes cellular phones, computers, cars, subways, planes, televisions, and radios.In either case, the entire power grid could be shut down!
What you really need to think about is how this will affect you short term. Cellular phones and televisions going down are an inconvenience, but am EMP event could result in people dying in the first few days.
