Massive Solar Flare Misses Earth, but Are We Ready for the Big One?
"The worst-case extreme scenario is no power grid or satelite communication for weeks. What's your emergency plan?
Are we ever ready for when nature strikes? Is it even possible to be ready?
No power, internet, TV for weeks eh .... sounds like the perfect time to be with friends and family for a BBQ :-)
My emergency plan for the giant killer solar flare is the same one I have for the world ending in 2012 and Godzilla, which is to watch the movies they make about them in the comfort of my home on my big screen TV with some snacks and a nice cold beverage.
Junkseller is well prepared with his own power generator. Being off the grid - the Martians can come & he'll be OK with his DVD's!
Not really, the really big one will knock out power and cause fires. In the 1850s a huge solar flare hit.
