Ready for the EMP?

Anybody have experience with this community?
I see a potential Gulch.
I see a potential Gulch.
While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
There are numerous small communities across the US (and perhaps Canada) who voted (or would have voted) at least 70-30 for Trump.
Wouldn't life be better in such a place rather than hiding out as an individual in the middle of nowhere? Isn't there at least a little room for voluntary community action that is positive and constructive--as in defense against looters?
Sadly, I don't thinka that word means what you (or I) thinka it means anymore.
Even so, A=A, and in this case reality sucks and it doesn't look to be getting any better.

Did you know the temperature inside that fireball is around 10,000,000 degrees Kelvin or more?
Here's a good video:

Where does the heat, most likely in the form of electromagnetic energy, go? Is that what forms the emp? Guess I'll check it out in my Tipler. Releasing the binding energy of the nucleus?
(We need to keep reminding world leaders...)
The sledge hammer is the Compton effect. The magnetic field grows at an exponential rate.
(Note: I've always thought the "Cartesian Method" was the xy coordinate system; the 2-space and 3-space dimensional positioning system for algebraic curves. I'm finding out it is simply Descartes' views on "How will we know".
Me dino blows my big honking carnosaur nose at any predicted submersion zones. "Let's go Al Gore!"
What I've read and seen on TV about the Yellowstone caldera volcano indicates that a super eruption would destroy South Dakota and the widespread destruction not indicated by the map from the ash cloud would make all the gagging to death at Pompeii look like an anthill in comparison. That widespread ash cloud would even reach where I live in Alabama. Fortunately for us, odds are many more centuries should pass before it ever devastate most of North America once again.
Yeah, I can just see Birmingham being a nuke target that's just a quick drive from my home and everything going to hell as a high crime anarchy zone.
Being 74, legally handicapped for taking up a blue-lined parking space and unable to run, I share the sentiment expressed here by AJAshinoff.
I'll be all coiled up and waiting like that rattler on that "Don't Tread On Me" Gadsden Flag.
I'm not going to bother worrying about that one because if it goes, I'll find out about 15 minutes before I'm dead and gone.
As for being ready for an Electromagnetic Pulse, we actually are in good shape. Even another Carrington Event wouldn't have all that much effect on us, because almost all long range communication is done over fiber now and the power grid is really tough and breakers would short any large imposed pulse to ground.
Good to know we are better prepared for an EMP than I thought.
I'm not impressed with their map of the States, showing the 'submersion zone' including the Rockies and the High Plains (are we really going to see the seas rise more than a mile???). Plus, it ignores what happens when Yellowstone blows (theoretically the western third of the States will be uninhabitable).
Running away is not the answer.
if an EMP or another Carrington Event happens
in the US, likely 100 to 200 million will be dead in that first year
we are overdue for another Carrington Event

It was designed to survive an emp. At least so far as what was known at that time.
Besidds, I would want a two person, spit floor plan with open floor plan, can't stand anything else now.
i have backup essential electronics in a faraday cage
and i just ordered a new set of non-gmo seeds
The missile may be worth more than what s in the bunker.
