WE NARROWLY MISSED CATASTROPHIC EMP EVENT

A near miss for Earth: Solar flare that could have knocked out power, cars and phones came very close two weeks ago. 

 

Electromagnetic pulses, also known as EMPs, are massive surges of energy that can come from a severe solar flare or from a high altitude nuclear explosion. 

 

There was a near miss about two weeks ago.  A Carrington-class coronal mass ejection crossed the orbit of the Earth and basically just missed us,’ added Peter Vincent Pry, who served on the Congressional EMP Threat Commission.  Basically this is a Russian roulette thing,’ he said. ‘We narrowly escape from a Carrington-class disaster.’

 

The event isn’t rare. In 1989, an EMP effect in Canada knocking out Quebec's electric transmission system.

This is how a major EMP attack would affect you and your community:  

• All your electronics, all your gadgets and appliances with even a tiny computer in them, would cease to function indefinitely. They'd be fried. This includes your automobile. Roads and highways would be clogged with stalled vehicles and instant refugees. 
• Your supermarket has only a few days' worth of food supplies. After that, with ground vehicles and aircraft unavailable for transport, your community would simply run out of food.
• Pharmacies would run out of life-saving medicine. Hospitals would be reduced to minimal care, if any at all.
• Law enforcement would be up to local authorities. It would vary across the country. It could go from rational and civilized to outright tyrannical, depending on circumstances and the authorities involved.
• Hungry, fearful people get desperate. Our communities could easily revert not to the 1860s - but all the way to the worst of the Middle Ages or antiquity in a matter of days.
