    This is why I don't live in a megalopolis.

    Manhattan at sunset. No power.



    When I first moved to my present location we had power outages for days at a time. The difference was I was prepared for it.

    Who says they weren't prepared?

    There's nothing civil about this war.

    Our power went out after a loud pop outside yesterday around 8. With the Manhattan news already well known, I called my prepper buddy and spun up a conspiracy story. Told him to get ready for FEMA to call us up to start herding folks towards the concentration camps, and that he needs to put his phones and radios into the microwave, in case it was actually an EMP attack.

    I enjoy getting him going sometimes. Lol.

    Guess what? Someone actually tested various measures to protect against EMP: AmazonSmile: Disaster Preparedness for EMP Attacks and Solar Storms (Expanded Edition) eBook: Arthur T. Bradley: Books

    IKR?

    Although, if you've waited until the power has gone out it's too late. Buy the Kindle, print out the relevant parts... or follow his guidance for home-made Faraday cages, and keep a spare kindle/tablet/laptop in one. (Note: you need to insulate the contents of the Faraday Cage from the outer walls of the cage! Line the ammo cans/trash can/whatever with insulation!)
