10 Things to Have Ready before the Huge EMP !!!

Ask a Prepper ^ | Claude Davis

Dr. Peter Pry (Executive Director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security) warns that the consequences - of not being prepared for this event - are much more severe than one may think:

“within a year of an EMP event at least 2 thirds or the us population will perish from starvation, disease and social collapse”

Former CIA double agent (Reza Kahlili) who spent time in the Iranian Army confirmed that the Iranian have conducted missile tests of ships in the Caspian See that are consistent with an EMP attack:

“They are going to get to the Gulf of Mexico with ballistic missiles and they can launch one at a moment’s notice and they wouldn’t care about the repercussions”

Mostly because they can sink the vessel leaving no traces and because the US won’t be able to retaliate!

What if you woke up one morning and nothing worked? What if there was no electricity? What if all transportation came to a halt?

An EMP event would instantly destroy any means of telecommunication, bank account would disappear, planes would fall from the skies, nuclear plants would not be able to cool down the reactors, we would have no running water (water pumps) and every piece of electronics we use from pacemakers to phones to gasoline pumps would stop!

Your refrigerator will stop working and all your food will spoil in a matter of days! If you and your family are not together, you won’t be able to contact or see them.

This is a catastrophic threat and North Korea, China, Iran, Russia and even ISIS… they all understand it and they are all working on it.

You are so screwed.

[Lazamataz]

You are so screwed.

[Osage Orange]

Obviously your responsibility IS 2nd...

Normal operations here on FR...is if you talk about someone..you ping them.

Thank me later.........

[Buckeye McFrog]

Your refrigerator will stop working

And no one will be able to call you to ask "Is your refrigerator running?"

[Osage Orange]

HA!!

[Captain Peter Blood]

Stop and think exactly what capabilities are needed to stage an EMP attack and one on a massive scale that would effect the entire U.S.?

Does anyone actually have that kind of ability to so?????

[Osage Orange]

I think I'll be still driving my '61 VW.....

And my '56 Ford....

[Osage Orange]

LOL!!

????? Wouldn't an EMP wipe some car electronics out and not others? Is it 'hit and miss' and you really don't know if your car would start or not? 50/50 chance?

Yep. The testing that was done resulted in random results. Some cars were unaffected and others had to towed away to the shop.

One of the items I keep in my car is a socket wrench to disconnect the battery and reconnect it. This may offer some value in resetting the onboard computers to minimally limp home mode. I had the unfortunate experience of a transmission electronic failure years ago. The ride was rough and inefficient, but I made it 127 miles to my house. That is the default they call limp home mode.

The biggest issue will be the large grid transformers.

I am not convinced that isolated appliances and battery operated tools will be damaged in any way.

Your 3-9 x 50 scope will still work!!

[Patriot Babe]

How about Refrigerators, Microwaves, Stoves and such?

[Osage Orange]

ROFLOL!!

[PA Engineer]

Correct. It would be way over 90%, and in much less than a year.

Agreed.

[ Your 3-9 x 50 scope will still work!! ]

And people laughed when I had BOTH on my 9mm...

Horse drawn undertakering is a Growth Industry in this case....

Bring out yer dead (ding ding)....

[Osage Orange]

I have some tritium sights on my bow....and some guns.

They work pretty good............

[Rusty0604]

barely.

[ozzymandus]

Anybody remember Y2K?

[gundog]

Just barely.

[Durus]

There didn’t appear to be much of a difference. I goggled the studies on EMP and didn’t bother to save them. OF the ones I saw the methodology and raw data were made public so there doesn’t appear to be any funny business going on with said studies.
