Since we're talking about an EMP occurring while you're in a grocery store, (my kind of place since I own one!)
we had a V-Talk (think Ted Talk for preppers) back in 2010 that analyzed when and where Russia would likely drop a series of high altitude nukes that would completely wipe out our electrical grid and eventually lead to a full scale invasion months later with virtually no resistance from what remained of our weakened and starving population.
Of course, we're all still here, but the talk so resonated with attendees that to this day, our facility is heavily occupied on the Sunday after Thanksgiving each year particularly since the war in Ukraine started!
We now have an evening of "V-Talks" yearly!)
The talk was "creatively called: "Why Russia will pick the Sunday after Thanksgiving for an EMP."
The updated gist is this:
In the United States, the busiest travel days for air travel are usually holidays and holiday weekends.
The busiest travel day of the year is often the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
The busiest times for US flights are mid-morning and mid-afternoon.
For example, in 2023, the Sunday after Thanksgiving drew the largest crowds on record with an estimated 2.9 million passengers in the air!
AAA forecasted that 55.4 million Americans would travel at least 50 miles from home between Wednesday and the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Roads are likely to be the most clogged on that Wednesday and Sunday.
In addition, weather could snarl air and road traffic.
A storm system was expected to move from the southern Plains to the Northeast on Tuesday and Wednesday,
bringing severe thunderstorms, gusty wind and possible snow.
So think about it...
It's the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Maybe sometime before noon, when millions of Americans are in Church, possible miles away from their homes.
At this same hour, a HUGE number of US citizens are far from their homes and returning from their Thanksgiving Holiday.
● As many as 50 million are driving on crowded highways
● Another couple million are in the air or waiting at airports.
THIS IS THE TIME AND DAY THEY MIGHT LIKELY CHOOSE.
● On detonation, every airplane would likely drop from the sky...all would perish.
● Those in the airports would eventually run out of food and then perhaps turn on each other.
● There would be no electricity and everything electricity enables:
● No cellular communication,
● No HVAC,
● No pumped water,
● No gas pumps,
● No GPS, and lots more.
● Cities would quickly run out of food with no way to replenish groceries and restaurants
(which would have no electricity anyway!)
● People away from home might freeze if there were snow storms.
● Most vehicles returning from Thanksgiving would be permanently stalled and the traffic would grind to a halt.
Even if you had an older car that happened to work, you'd be trapped along with thousands.
On an Interstate highway, possibly far from any food and possibly freezing, there would be chaos and eventally the strongest might take from the weakest.
● Those in Church at the time might be able to walk home unless they were too feeble.
Then probably just minutes later,
● hundreds of additional nukes would vaporize many U.S. cities
● and throw trillions of tons of radioactive dust into the atmosphere.
● Anyone not taken out by the direct blasts would be faced with lethal radioactive fallout if not sufficiently sheltered.
A car or van would not cut it as "sufficient!"
If you live far enough away from population centers, power plants, and military bases, and if you have food and water and can stay out of the fallout....you might survive for a couple of weeks or months.
If you want to thrive, you'll need some skills and rebuilding the country means community.
So where will YOU be this December 1st, 2024, the Sunday after Thanksgiving?! I'll be under my grocery!
