EMP wont be a road clogging event. Nothing with a computer chip will be running including electricity. Wont be access any bank funds, gas, credit card usage, or gas. In an instance we are back in the 19th century.
It will be a mixed bag.....some ciorcuits are more hardened and resistant than others, EMP effects won’t be 100 per cent in blanketing everything everywhere and the Earth curvature will also effect an emp force especially at the edges. A Radio tower may act as a grounding conduit for surrounding areas as will hills with high ferrite content. Power outages will be spotty over wide areas but not completely destroyed. It will be a big mess but there will not be 100 per cent complete electronics destruction. Batteries will still work. I’m sure many old style gas generators will work. Can our society keep enough of its wits about itself while we try to painfully rebuild....? Well that is another issue!
“EMP wont be a road clogging event.”
Oh...I see....there won’t be any cars dead on the road?
They’ll all be in their driveways and garages?
I missed that......
You think all cars will be politely parked in their garages when the EMP bomb goes off?
It’ll be more like 100 million vehicles dead on all the roads and nothing working to push them into the ditch. Think of all the millions of people stranded far from home — people who couldn’t walk five miles if their lives depended on it.
