EMp's and BOB's on National News

I was going through my E-mails this morning and had Fox News on in the background. I was trying to decide on a subject for my blog today. I am wanting to talk about Ham Radios. At 11:38 I glanced up to see “Electromagnetic Pulse could take out grid in US”. Well, that got my attention. The woman doing the news talked about how a nuke detonated in the upper atmosphere could create an emp that could take out the US grid for weeks, months or years! She brought in an “expert” that confirmed what she said and they showed Iranian tests and how they appear to be able to reach out far enough, or that they could simply launch one from a boat.
I was pretty surprised. Fox News is a pretty good source, but it is still main stream media. What does all this mean? Not sure. Those in survie circles have talked about this for a long time and most of us have tried to make what preps we could with that in mind.
My question to you is have you considered EMP’s in your plans for disaster? Have you hardened anything. Do you plan on doing without? Have you purchased replacements and locked them away in a Faraday cage?
In 2004 a Blue ribbon Commission report confirmed the dangers of this and a quick google search can give you access to varying opinions on the subject. I just thought it worthy of mention because the main stream media is reporting it. By the time they report stuff it is usually after we could do anything. I wonder if it is because they really are concerned with getting their Latte’ or if it is just another scare tactic, although possible event, to keep the sheeple off kilter.

The next thing is Fox was talking about the new storm headed for Denver. They are saying a lot of people were not “prepared” when the last storm hit and they hoped people had learned from it and would be prepared with things like an “emergency car kit” I had changed the name of my BOB some time back to make it more palatable to family and friends I nthe hopes they would put one together.
They showed Denver. It has started to snow. The gal was saying that the grocery store lots are filling up. FILLING UP! Now. It has already started to snow. She was showing the things the store is out of. Ice scrapers, bread, veggies etc and now they are going to the store.. People will never learn.
