The scary thought of this type of event isn't the "being prepared to survive" but rather the recognition that your survival is wholly dependent upon your ability to defend yourself from those who aren't.Let's hope it was merely a malfunction and not an intentional act but at the same time it should be a wake up call to just how vulnerable we are to a terrorist attack.
After the severe winter storm that hit Texas a few years ago it's evident most people have no idea how to live without electricity and just how important electricity is for modern life.
I read somewhere a few years ago if the US was hit with an EMP attack that knock out the electrical grid, nine out of ten people would be dead within a year. That's pretty scary.
Buddy of mine and I were talking about this very topic last weekend. We know several people that are preppers, their biggest mistakes are telling people about their bunkers and not having them hidden. The biggest threat you would face in the event of something like a EMP attack is other people.The scary thought of this type of event isn't the "being prepared to survive" but rather the recognition that your survival is wholly dependent upon your ability to defend yourself from those who aren't.
