Thanks for the recommend & loaner - am reading Lights Out right now.

Would also like to read the One Second After book, but respect the Lights Out author as a “known” Survival Monkey.

At some point I’d like to get my hands on Ferfal’s book. Sure, I’ve read his writings online, but I’d like to give him the support he’s earned. We aren’t that far from going the way of Argentina, I fear.

Starfish Prime caused an electromagnetic pulse which was far larger than expected, so much larger that it drove much of the instrumentation off scale, causing great difficulty in getting accurate measurements. The Starfish Prime electromagnetic pulse also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 1,445 kilometres (898 mi) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights, setting off numerous burglar alarms and damaging a telephone company microwave link. The EMP-damaged microwave link shut down telephone calls from Kauai to the other Hawaiian islands.[4]

You forgot 21- People, the other other white meat.

We have devices on the ground to nullify such a strike for the most part, kind of like grouding a house.

They could do some damage but not lots of it.
