An EMP today would be inconvenient.

But in 50 years, we'd go back to the stone age .
I disagree. An EMP today would decimate any large city.
You dont evey need EMP to do that. Just shut down the EBT (Food Stamps) system and any big city in the US would collapse in days.

NOAA is saying it will be a G3 level geomagnetic storm.

Homepage | NOAA / NWS Space Weather Prediction Center

Strong, but not destructive. The one earlier this year where the auroras were visible far south was a G4.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Everyone should read William Forstchen's series that starts with the book "One Second After."

It's an eye opener about an EMP attack.......

Every part of modern society runs on electricity now. The electricity goes, and boom, we're all cavemen again.
Avoid Teslas at all costs.

You think only Tesla's would have an issue? That's cute. They thought otherwise in 1983.

when the Ukraine war first started I rewatched The Day After and someone else posted a very good English movie from the 1980s about a nuclear war with the Soviet Union.

humanity will not survive a massive nuclear exchange. that will be brutal.

we have literally seen in the past few weeks Hamas supporters shutting down the Brooklyn Bridge and Holland Tunnel entrances to NYC.

that's a few thousand idiot leftists and Islamic Jihadists marching around and they are able to do that in peacetime.

what happens when there are MILLIONS of civilians running around American cities going crazy after an attack?
Well, for one, no one is going to stop if there's someone standing in the road blocking them.
This movie scared me more than any other horror film in the 80's did.

As questions build, it may take weeks before the blackout's cause is clear.

[but also]

Red Elctrica, the corporation that operates Spain's electric grid, ruled out a cyberattack, human error and any unusual weather or atmospheric phenomena.
If they immediately ruling out a cyberattack, then that tells us it's likely was a cyberattack.

Besides, it's not like there's ongoing warfare in Europe, north Africa and the middle east or anything. It's a lot easier to blame it on bat-soup windmills than risk widespread panic.
