Lkorrow> Vehicles and generators would be disabled.


All depends . .
On how close they are to the EMP and how 'fragile'
the components are.

I'm just guessing, mind you. But I suspect todays
modern internet equipped keyless entry type vehicles
would have enough electronics fried to render them
inoperable. Something like my old 1969 C-10 short
bed pickup truck - unless it were very close to the
EMP bomb - would just shrug it off and keep on trucking.

Old generators without a lot of fancy electronics that
are a long ways from the EMP bomb would likely survive.
New fangled electronic stuff might not.

And if the system is designed to survive multiple
lightning strikes it is a lot more likely to survive
the EMP than some might think.

Yeah, places like new York city which will almost certainly
be 'ground zero' for an EMP bomb will be screwed. I think
more folks will die in the rioting after the bomb than
will die from the bomb.

But folks in upstate New York, west Texas, much of the
rural parts of the country will do OK if they do not
panic and let the 'old dudes' strut their stuff and
get things working again.

Zim,

Vehicles and generators would be disabled. They will be able to farm what they can with their shovels and what they can water, if they don't need an electric pump, as long as their ammo holds out. No travel. No grid. No electronic communications. No ice. Have you seen grocery stores clear out in a day or two when a hurricane's coming? The food would be gone in an emp moment.

I'd say buy a horse, but someone would want to eat it.

North Korea has made test runs on our coast with a missile on board, hidden in the hold.
