I still think EMP damage estimates are a little overrated.

+1. I am an above average prepper and a massive EMP is way down my list of concerns about events and I have studied EMP damage way more than many that preach EMP doom porn.

I’ve read everything from 10% or so will be damaged to 90% or more! One test run by the government was extremely flawed because the various agencies “donating” vehicles for testing required they be returned in working order. Therefore, none of the vehicles were ever submitted to the full effects of an EMP.

“I still think EMP damage estimates are a little overrated.”

Well, I know nothing about this stuff, but I never understand why there seems to be a conviction that nothing can ever be repaired.

We did live on earth for millennia before there was any electricity or cars or anything like that.
