“An EMP attack could put us at third world status for the next 2 generations. Possibly longer since we wouldn’t even have a population surplus to market as a labor force.”
In Texas we’d be down maybe a week or two. One emp? Third
world status? Sounds like global warming hype to me. Ike
came through Houston and wiped the place out. I don’t
remember FEMA doing kack. We dealt with loss of power, in
some places for over a month, and worked our way through it.
Nothing personal to you Black Agnes but I keep hearing all
this about one EMP and we’re all back to the stone age and I don’t buy it. Maybe 100 or 500 at once yea, but not just one?
It wouldn’t be just Houston and burbs. And there’d be no power company trucks driving in from Arizona, Tennessee, Kentucky or Florida to fix Y’all.
Houston didn’t fix its power all by itself after Ike. And South Mississippi didn’t after Katrina either. I saw convoys of power trucks from states as far away as Montana and Idaho.
If it weren’t for that concerted effort (Thanks again y’all!) we’d probably still be fixing Katrina damage.
And you knew Ike was coming and prepared. How many of your neighbors have a weeks worth of clean water right this minute? What about the other suburbs? What about the EBT card holders?
