Amy, I am not going to get my hopes up. I have been doing research on EMP’s. Trying to figure out what I can do besides what I have already done. It will not be near enough. And besides that, solar is great but if you have several days of cloudy weather and snow as well. Those solar panels will not help. You would need some serious battery backup to cover those days the solar panels don’t get enough sun to charge batteries. I for one am not climbing on a roof to scrape snow of solar panels which is where a lot of them are placed. Would need to have a backup source and the only other thing I can think of is wind power which some neighborhoods will not let you have and I am not sure how geothermal works but want to look into it. I do know it is the best heat source you can get but is pricey. Worth it though over the long run. If this happens it will put us back in the 1800’s. You could count on riots and worse. No cars of the newer makes but maybe the older cars made before 1985 or maybe even 1995. But anything that requires computerized stuff in a car will fail. So we are in trouble there. There would be no food deliveries to stores, so you know what will happen there. Most stores carry only a 3 day supply of food and my understanding now is that they may only carry 1 to 2 days now. Not much in the way of a back up food in storage at the stores now. I have been looking into how I can harden my car. Have seen a couple of things such as an EMP cloth that you put over the whole car down to the ground but not sure if it would really work and they are very expensive. I really hope Trump can get something passed to harden the grid but the dems will block him coming and going because they want him to fail as a president. They are to busy trying to find a way to get him out of office and bring in socializem and a one world government to care about what happens to we the people. So he will have a fight on his hands unless he has a plan to move around the dems. What the dems want have failed in other countries. So they better think about what they are wishing for. They want more and more power at the expense of we the people. Our taxes will go way up leaving what is left of the middle class in the cold and the retired and poor will suffer the worse. This is the work of the dems and I will include some republicans in that rat hole. I just found out tonight that our ex-gov. of VA is planning to run for president in 2020. I wouldn’t vote for him if he was the last man standing. After what he did with the tunnels and bridges with the tolls. No one can afford to go across a bridge or through a tunnel now. The tolls just went up a month ago to almost $4.00 each way. If you depend on getting to work through those tunnels just add it up for a month then a year. They are working on one city for people to get some kind of a break but some of these people have had to pay upwards of 3000.00 due to past due payments because they could not afford to pay the bill. It is that bad. Thank you McCullough. I will not be voting for you.
Anyway aside from that rant. I will pull out what I have on EMP’s and try to get what I have posted so hopefully it will help others. At this point all we can do is pray about this and hope it doesn’t happen. But things are lining up to a point that I truly believe we are going to be in a war of some sort by the end of the year if not sooner. Keep your eye on Turkey, Russia and China. Not so sure about N. Korea yet as little kemmy has it out for Japan right now. But it remains to be seen. How in the world do you prep for things like this when you live smack in the middle of a military area and Wash. DC just 5 hours out. I figure when the bombs hit I am out of here anyway.
