EMP a touchy subject usually.
EMP is a Cause. The Result is the same as several other natural disasters.
No Food in Wally world or Kroger or where ever you shop. I seriously doubt people will be worried about electronic equipment.
Why there is no Food or water is not important.
2 Weeks with strained food/water supplies the social fibre of the USA will collapse. Think Katrina or Ferguson
Something else looms larger than a Solar burst or EMP attack but the results will be just as bad I fear.

California is next to the Ocean and they are having a water shortage? I’m just saying.... you can’t feel sorry them.
