Indeed! US congressional hearings estimated that if we were hit with a major X class solar flare, or with an EMP that 90% of the US population would perish within the first 12 months. And 90% of those deaths would occur within the first 2 months. Grim. Weather would be a big factor but even if it was nice moderate weather the biggest problems would be food, water, waste, disease and violence, in that order. Of course those dependent upon meds would be the first to go. But the biggest concern would be that I could no longer comment on posts and there would be great suffering throughout the world.
