While the total wipeout depicted in One Second After is probably exaggerated, the effects could knock out our power grid for months, and destroy critical communications and computer systems. As former CIA chief James Woolsey recently said:
If you look at the electric grid and what it's susceptible to, we would be moving into a world with no food delivery, no water purification, no banking, no telecommunications, no medicine. All of these things depend on electricity in one way or another.
In such a situation, there simply is no way to rule out the possibility that hundreds of millions could die.

Paging the “Aw Jeez” Man.
Hasn’t this garbage been bunked and debunked too many times to count over the years?
Yet it keeps coming back up.
Every redneck has a spare microwave sitting somewhere just use that as a Faraday cage.
PING!!!
Article and comments,
Thanks, rktman
We just don’t have the money to prepare for an EMP strike.
The money is all tied up in handing out free stuff to lllegal aliens, 4th generation moochers, and muslims who come here to overthrow the country.
It’s not hard for every home to have water purification on hand ( lifestraw and other means) and to stockpile some medicines ( vitamins and antibiotics) while it’s still possible to obtain them which the govt is attempting to stop
Hmmm. Seems like some folks think I’ve been ‘hornswaggled’ on this. Whatever that means. LOL! Being aware isn’t always scare tactics. Then again, what are ya gonna do about it if it happens?
Because it’s not bunk.
Excecpt maybe in the minds of a few uninformed FReepers.
No, it hasn’t been debunked.
It’s an actual thing. What is unknown is to what extent the civil grid will be impacted
Common bleach would work just fine.
The Little Dictator isn't insane, although he wants everyone to think he is.
Microwaves do not work (except at 2.4GHZ)
Prove it by taking a battery powered FM radio, tuned to you favorite local station and placing it in a microwave and closing the door. It will work fiNE right until you hit “cook”
And the author has spoken as an expert”(Naval College?) About EMF threat before Congress...scary book
Yeah except that the only current manner to produce an EMP is to explode a nuclear bomb...that has world wide consequences that are far worse than losing the grid
Right now the fat boy can’t get a rocket off the launch pad
BUMP!...and what retaliatory response will be enacted.
...and...and...and
You would need guns to protect your stockpile. Stockpiles are only temporary. Stockpiles only work until they are depleted or the mob kills you and takes your stockpile.
If the world’s most famous bird-watcher hits the USA with and EMP Weapon, he will get his Kimchi fried.
