Prepper Ping - EMP : Natural or Nuclear ( Congressional Report of 10/12/17 )

"A congressional committee report states that a large electromagnetic pulse (EMP) inundating America could cause 90% of Americans to die.
The EMP is inevitable."

An EMP, Carrigton Event of 1859, is a natural ocuring event,
with widespread effect.. it can happen again.
It's just a matter of time,
We came closest to a natural event in 2012, according to NASA, missing the earth's orbit by a week.
The nuclear bomb EMP effect was confirmed by the 1962 Starfish Prime test
which was fired 250 miles above the Pacific and impacted more than 1,000 miles away.

You can be a cynic, or a believer. That's your choice !
But I recommend you read the original news source article at AmericanThinker

Thank you for the ping. 90%, that’s amazing. It’ll be tough going for those that are left.

It is a very viable and dangerous threat. Taking the grid out can be done in several ways besides EMP. Each with disastrous results.

To a very limited affect. Not exactly the Internet’s claim of total destruction of all things electronic and electrical.
