There's at least a small concern NK satellites in low geostationary orbit above the US could have deployable EMP weapons.
We're probably okay... for now.There's at least a small concern NK satellites in low geostationary orbit above the US could have deployable EMP weapons.
It's more fun to panic about TEOTWAWKI than to consider the more realistic scenario: If your proximity to an EM event is sufficient for it to affect devices not plugged into "the grid", you're probably close enough to ground zero for EMP to be the least of your concerns.

yahoo click bait, any one with nuclear capability could affect the grid with an emp. actual damage and effective range are calculated but are just WAGs, there are no actual data.
I've read One Second After and the other two books in the trilogy.
Koppel's book Light's Out really pointed out the holes in the infrastructure and unpreparedness around the issue.
Started reading it a few days ago. Good read. Major eye opening, not only for the 'heavy' stuff, but also things that I at least have never thought about, such as:
1. Your LED emergency flashlight will probably worth shit.
2. Invest in a 60's or 70's driveable car/truck. It might be your single best survival item
I don’t want to say I enjoyed “Day of Wrath.” But it was a good book.[FONT=&]
"I'm not an expert but I did read One Second After."
Just don't read the author's Day of Wrath - absolutely awful. [/FONT]

“One Second After” is great. I need to read the other two.
“Going Home” by A. American wasn’t bad if you liked that.
