why are we talking about EMP’s? Was there a threat that I missed?
*************************************************************************
I don’t recall exactly how it started, but I think it was talking about food storage and morphed into EMP - my fault.

From what I have read, the USA is a sitting duck for an EMP whether from man made or a Carrington type event. I had just been reading a scientific article about a corneal mass among other things, so prepping was on my mind.

Ummmmmmm I have to confess.... I really think I’m the culprit.

I wrote a piece on archiving computer files. Mairdie told us about archiving backups in a bank vault. I wondered if bank vaults are EMP faraday cages. Ensued a conversational mudslide of epic proportions.... about EMPs, and then to prepping in general....to which greeneyes contributed mightily! (for which I’m very grateful!)

Couple questions. What is a Carrington type event? How did the scientific article about a corneal mass relate to prepping?
