[QUOTE="1krr, post: 2657574, member: 750"] Yeah I didn't understand most of it! Big takeaways I got were basically that the movies/general internet depictions are generally wrong. An emp probably isn't going to let the magic smoke out of everything. Sensitive stuff connected to long wires like transmission lines are most vulnerable in an average house but with sufficient warning, yanking your mains and unplugging everything you care about is an option. This of course assumes you are planning on bugging in where ever you are and that you happen to be home when the warning sounds. For geomagnetic events like solar storms, there might be as much as days of lead time while with a nuclear attack, you've got minutes, maybe. Anyway, just a fun exercise to consider as you put together your plans! [/QUOTE]
