I'm so glad you are sharing one of my deepest fears with the world; I live under the Northern lights and see the magnetic waves dancing in the sky often.
Live in Seattle and saw them a couple times as a kid, in the 60's. My dad, a Nuke-Yoo_Lahr Physicist, used them as an excuse to teach us about solar flares, magnetic interference, and the Carrington Event.
So my school actually decided that we should still zoom... during a blackout.... with no power or water.... oh the wonders of the Texas education system
Fibre optic cables DO use electricity, you need a power source to generate the light at both ends and in the event of a Carrington Event you will lose power at either ends rendering the service useless.
Redundant power exists for critical routes and fibre doesn’t need repeaters like with co-ax cables, assuming you can restore power on both ends you’d only be cut off at the local relay level which would be the real issue for the vast majority
@@sagejungwirth4155 people are able to live without phones. believe or not, there are people alive today there did not own a cellphone of any kind at some point of their lives. i'm one such people. it's weird, but it happened!
Why is it what when my uncle says it's the sun, it's like listening to a guy talking to himself on the street, but when Brew says it's the sun, it seems more logical?
Auroras aren’t only found in the north. Here in the Southern Hemisphere, they are called Aurora Australis. They can sometimes be seen in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne & Tasmania(where they can be seen regularly)
I don't know if Estonia counts as not north, but in Estonia Auroras are quite common, and because of the strict lightning regulations in the cities, there isn't a lot of light pollution, and used to as a kid watch them from my rooms window at night. Now I live in Sweden in Stockholm, and I haven't seen any for a long time. (I saw one tho last year when I traveled up to northen Sweden.)
Little inaccurate in your description of how solar storms overwhelm power grids. It's not EM radiation, it's the particles themselves. They slam into our magnetic field causing it to warp and twist and this induces electrical currents in wires at ground level. Same way a dynamo or electric motor works, a changing magnetic field equals electrical current and a changing electrical current causes a magnetic field.
People worry so much about Solar Flares because the media are hyping them up to be some world ending event. They happen so often that it's not really a problem.
@@callumpearce9242 Agree, after the like one billion video about the Karrington event, i decide to read, about it, and aperantly, first solar storm happen quite a lot and in seasons, in order to have a Karrington event, you need, a solar storm season, and a strong one, wich already is a very low posibility, less than 10%, according to NASA, and inside that 10%, less than 12%, to create a carrington event, and the other even more powerful is even less, so to have a Carrington event, you have less than 10%, it sounds a lot, but when you play Gatcha games, or any dice game, 10%, is very little, nearly imposible, there is a reason why the astronomurs call these events, one in never
@@See_through866 Indeed, i remember when the earth dodge a rock because come from near the sun, what i mean is we dont know anything, we ccan be dead tomorrow, but there is nothing to do, we spend more money in build back better, or the giant corporations to big to fail, so there is not a lot to do
hey brew! being there for the ‘lovingly’ nicknamed freeze/snowvid, let me tell you what you already know- it was BAD. we had to shut all the blinds and windows to keep the cold out, light candles (power was out and fire provided warmth), and huddle around in blankets. we had to charge our phones in a car, and the house only stayed (sort of) warm enough because we boiled water on the gas stovetop. the temperature dropped to the tens and twenties if i remember correctly- we got snow, but it was the weird hard ice sludge kind. tldr; cold, drastic measures, memories, cold, no power, and cold.
Consider yourself lucky you had a gas stovetop. Many Texans had it much worse. No source of heat at all, and they weren't educated on the risks of pipes freezing, so naturally, they left their water on and pipes burst and flooded so many residences. So much so, that some municipals couldn't keep the pipes pressurized. You had water and gas, just no electricity. Imagine losing all 3 without being prepared!
It wouldn't have been bad at all, if after the last time it happened, Ercot followed proper procedures and set up for an actual winter. But, that costs money, so they just let it happen again instead.
We have known about this for decades, and i have been warning about it for years. Unfortunately lawmakers don‘t care and don‘t want to require electromagnetic protection mechanisms in the power grid, ect.
It would probably cause caos at the beggining, but i think It would be better in the long term, if we don't go back to all these digital era and focus on human bonds and a healthy lifestyle.
At least the safety mechanisms worked. What's worse, lots a people without power for a while or the possibility of all those same people being shocked to death
As a kid I used to be envious of people who are born in places that have snow but now I am thankful because snow is very terrifying if you're not well off
That blizzard in Texas at the beginning of 2021 was terrifying. Our daughter was born right before the snow started falling. I lived further north, for years, and had been through actual blizzards. What I worried about was how everyone else not used to this type of weather would act. If we hadn't had a baby on the way, and my wife wasn't on maternity leave when all this happened, we would have been trapped in that huge car pileup on 35 bringing her home from work. We got so lucky during that blizzard. Our house had been pretty well stocked as we'd just been shopping before we went to the hospital to have the baby, and we lived just close enough to emergency services that our apartment complex was tied to their uninterruptable grid, so we didn't lose power, heat, or access to clean water. While all this was going on I read a news article about a family who had a baby on the same day our daughter was born who didn't survive the freeze because their neighborhood lost power and their pipes froze.
There was once a solar storm that occurred, it was so bright, birds would start singing because they thought it was day time. This was back when newspapers were the main source of the media and it stunned the world into thinking the end days were coming. It was called the Carrington Event.
During the "Texas freeze", i took my wife and kids to my sister's since she had power...then returned home to ride it out with our dogs. I woke up overnight from flashing lights and realized it was th FD, one house over burned down from people lighting a fire for warmth...everyone lived. When the power came back on, it was 34F in my house. Not really related to anything other than the beginning of the video.
I remember when the power went out in a chunk of Oklahoma for like 2 weeks but nobody cared and it certainly didn't make national news. Guess people only care about the rich folks
@@nobodycares4321 @Nobody Cares Dude I'm from Arkansas and my wife and I just moved to Austin the December before. I was watching the weather a few days before so my wife and I went out and bought a dozen candles. Little did we expect, there was barely any insulation in the walls of the place we were in. There's barely any trees around us so we spent several hours a day for almost a week just collecting firewood. We could only get the house to 55°F. Luckily we had a 100 watt solar panel that worked most days.
Thank you for talking about what happened in Texas this last Valentine's day! I felt so seen. Having survived the winter storm, I sincerely belive the death toll was much higher than 700. I believe that untold lives were lost due more indirect effects, like all the people who couldn't get dialysis and other medical intervention when they needed it, and people with fragile health who's bodies couldn't tolerate the stress of the below freezing temperatures.
I use wifi for my phone (no service on my area) so I was literally disconnected from everything. But luckily me and family knows how to survive without services since they grew up in farms back in the days.
Can you shine a light on this for me as somebody from New York who has been through multiple day long outages in the winter? Why didn't people just warm up and charge up their stuff in cars? Why didn't people just drive a few hours and stay in a hotel? Were people too scared to drive in snow? So much that they would starve or freeze?? Like there's so many things about surviving the cold without power that are obvious to me that seemed to escape Texans. I'm not trying to be offensive or disrespect people that died, I just genuinely don't understand why people would let it get so bad without any intervention
Also keep in mind that during the Carrington event telegraph wires caught the polls on fire. What do you think that'll do to the wires inside the walls of your house?
Nothing at all because the wires in your walls aren't .5mm thick. Telegraph/telephone wires have a tiny diameter, you can make them glow red hot with a generic 12V power supply from a laptop (don't do this please).
@@supermaster2012 better check again, telegraph wires were ran in 8 Awg steel on the poles to account for voltage drop or signal degradation, that's 40Amp, twice the amp rating of your typical receptacle.
The real question is, can we use these storms to do the opposite, and actually power our world? Harness the protons and electrons to make a sort of back up electricity supply incase a 2 year long black out were to occur. I think we could, and probably should, as it could save money, information, and even lives.
Oh my boy, that's quite the naive hypothesis. We're far too primitive for that, gonna have to wait another hundred years or more for us to get that advanced.
@@radornic2387 We are plenty advanced for that. The reason we don’t have access to that tech is purely due to how it would effect the worlds economy and the wallets of the uber rich. So tech gets carefully introduced as to not disrupt the current balances of power. My main gripe with capitalism.
It’s actually a simple concept, and yes we have tech that could theoretically convert a geomagnetic storm into energy we can use. It would be very similar to how hydroelectric power is made by passing water. But that wouldn’t be the only way either.
These have been scaring me for so long I’m not sure my family is prepared for this and I’m sure if I asked they’d shake me off, even though they have experienced the recent ones. I’m just gonna have to stock up on paint and drawing supplies

I've reduced my dependence on technology and while my mental health issues are still there I am much more content in my life.

The vast majority will sit and wait to be rescued. Isolated areas and mountain men won't know anything happened. 3rd world countries will be unaffected. But most won't have a clue what to do. Food will be gone in hours as panicked people storm stores. Food that cannot be stored or cooked will go bad. Forget heating and cooling. I wish I could be more optimistic. But I can't. I've seen too many able bodied and intelligent people who cannot put a spare tire onto their vehicle. They drive on a flat and wonder why they need a new tire.

So sad but this solar flare baloney is probably not true, PEOPLE ARE BEING CONDITIONED FOR THE COMING GREAT BLACKOUT FOR THE "GREAT RESET". This is all part of the end times scenario, the rapture and the 7year Tribulation with the Antichrist (666) are right around the corner. Please get saved and rapture ready: accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Savior today!!! This must come from the bottom of your heart and don't forget, JESUS is GOD, see John 1! Read biblical end times prophecy, listen to Dr. Ron Rhodes on end times chronology.
I hope articles and videos like this bring awareness to the dangers of solar flares and electromagnetic pulses so people, businesses and governments would prepare for them.
Thank you for putting our situation out here. I live north of San Antonio and we had to do without power for 6 days it was literally 4 degrees for majority of the nights of last year. Definitely scared me into having enough wood to last me and my neighbors for week at least
Humans think nothing changes as they forget the earth was once a frozen ball of ice the south doesn't mean your safe and warm only a fool believes nothing changes
The whole reason DARPA developed the Internet in the first place was to maintain communication in the event of a nuclear war, which causes the same sort of EMP problems. I'd expect Internet to have way fewer problems than the power grid. There just flat out do not exist extras of some of the giant transformers used by major power grids, so they would have to be built from scratch, and the lead time on getting one is months. And if everywhere needs one all at once...
That was some fantastic fiction. Try reality. It was called ARPANET and nerds were trying to get house sized computers to network in the 60s. In the event of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union everyone would be dead or dying.
@@jatpack3 not even 25% of all nuclear weapons would successfully launch, the vast majority of nuclear warheads are low yield unreliable ones from the 50s and 60s mounted atop of primitive ICBMs from the same period that haven't been upgraded at all since. Ffs, the nuclear launch codes for the entire US arsenal were 000000000000 for almost 20 years.
In a solar storm the loss of Internet would be my least worry. My biggest worry is having one big enough that it fries the electrical system for a few months to a few years. There's other stuff besides the internet that relies on electricity.
Like ovens. Fridge's freezers. Heat to heat our homes. Definitely more important things! Than the internet. Let's face it the 1960s and the 1970s and before that! People coped without the internet.
Good, I welcome it. People may actually talk to each other and be closer to one another than being on social media and the best part, no media to spread like cancer.
Yeah, the loss of the internet would be just a side effect. We'd lose the power grid nation wide if we had one big enough. Not to mention all cell phones would be gone, along with anything vulnerable to EMPs.
There’s this book called “Edge of Collapse” and is really interesting. It’s about this woman with a family, getting kidnapped by someone previously considered trustworthy. She is trapped in a basement for 5 years, never having left it once. Her kidnapper, during this time period, repeatedly rapes and tortures her, eventually impregnating her. And then, on the fifth year of her being in captivity, a solar flair hits the earth, creating an EMP (electro-magnetic pulse). She then escapes from captivity, due to the simple fact that her captor held her there using electric-powered doors/locks. She and the readers both quickly discover how chaotic the world can become without restrictive technology (or any technology at that). This story primarily takes place in 2024. Ironic, right? But yeah, this book series is very intriguing and I strongly suggest you read it if you can.
We were lucky during that winter snomageddon. We live about a 15 minute drive from my grandmother, 1 bridge and 2 towns over. We lost power from those "rolling" black outs, as well as my late uncle down the road. We had a little battery start up that could also run small appliances. As the tempature continued to dip, we still had internet and phone. Our driveway seemed inescapable. We called out grandmother, to check in, she still had power. After being pushed to the brink of cold, unable to light a flame. We decided to just go over there. First trip took us and our suppies. This 10 to 15 minute drive took 30 - 45 minutes. The bridge, usually nothing, was absolutely terrifying. Once we got home, my father and I left again, to go back and pick up my uncle. After that returned once more, to pick up our dog and my cat. Even though I was willing to stay home with them, being the best to weather through. We stayed there for 3 nights. I only had to work one day during this, at the only store open, with no water, thus no restrooms. After learning that we had power from a neighbor, we returned home with over 20 jugs of water from my grandmother's sink. We went 3 additionsl days without water,, and made use of 4 tubs of snow, and 4 additional jugs of murky pool water for other uses,, like flushing, washing, etc.. Luckily, we didn't have busted pipes. We were very lucky considering. I never liked the snow to much, outside of it's beauty. This wasn't beautiful. It was painful. A white wasteland. The thaw was one of the most beautiful things I've seen this whole year.
Note, before anyone starts replying about how this is nothing, remember this. WE LIVE IN TEXAS. Texas rarely gets cold like this. Our towns, our stores, our people are not prepared. No one has snow tires or anything. Few people own snow shovels. And good luck finding small downs with a usable plow to shift snow off to the side of roads. This is was made what many would consider normal, a true disaster for us. It's like if a 100° heat wave hits an area that never goes about 85, and lost power, causing several to deal with insufferable heat with no preparations. To us. That would be summer. To someone more up north, probably torture.

I am glad that I can sew by hand and do basic crochet and knitting as well. It can be good to learn skills that our ancestors did before electricity. Also, while technology is beneficial for lots of things, it’s not good to become too dependent on it.

Snow, when expected isnt such a big deal. Texas had major issues simply because it was unexpected in people who live there certainly werent ready. Its crazy cause when I first heard about it I preetty much laughed it off...."Yea, its snow....whats the problem?"

That Texas storm, I literally camped in a tent I put up in my room, stuffed it full of blankets, had a memory foam cushion underneath and a blanket over the tent for extra insulation, I had plenty of water and was snacking on old MRE's I had saved for emergencies lol
Hey Brew! Could we make the posts that hold our power lines special? Like a conductive center could open (I'm thinking magnetic switches, like rice cookers) and ground the line when an overload is detected? Would that work? (I know very little on these topics. Just a thought I had)
During the Texas freeze my family actually remained unaffected as we happened to be renting a house near a hospital at the time, so our power grid was unaffected, but i know of a few family friends that had to start burning blankets and old tshirts to stay warm.
Here where I live. We have been having trouble with the power generation. And generators are constantly tripping in power plants. It has nothing to do with solar flairs. But if enough generators trip at once. We could have a whole grid failure because there would not be enough power generation capacity. But since generators fail so often. We have already invested in generators and backup battery’s.
As a canadian I can confirmed I am prepared with my immense amount of firewood, gasoline to make more firewood, and a battery setup. Also, I think a big concern that people should be focused on in this situation, especially for any city dwellers that may be reading, water and hygiene. You should always have some number of water jugs prepared in case of any power outage and chlorine or iodine tablets ready to go. I'd also reccomend you buy a tiny amount of firewood if you have the ability to make fires where you live, this could save your life!
Gasoline doesn't really last all that long, usually a year at most if you aren't using the very best stabilizers, then about 2 years at most from what I hear, I hope you have a manual way to make firewood too.

Little inaccurate in your description of how solar storms overwhelm power grids. It's not EM radiation, it's the particles themselves. They slam into our magnetic field causing it to warp and twist and this induces electrical currents in wires at ground level. Same way a dynamo or electric motor works, a changing magnetic field equals electrical current and a changing electrical current causes a magnetic field.
People worry so much about Solar Flares because the media are hyping them up to be some world ending event.
They happen so often that it's not really a problem.

@@callumpearce9242 Agree, after the like one billion video about the Karrington event, i decide to read, about it, and aperantly, first solar storm happen quite a lot and in seasons, in order to have a Karrington event, you need, a solar storm season, and a strong one, wich already is a very low posibility, less than 10%, according to NASA, and inside that 10%, less than 12%, to create a carrington event, and the other even more powerful is even less, so to have a Carrington event, you have less than 10%, it sounds a lot, but when you play Gatcha games, or any dice game, 10%, is very little, nearly imposible, there is a reason why the astronomurs call these events, one in never

hey brew! being there for the ‘lovingly’ nicknamed freeze/snowvid, let me tell you what you already know- it was BAD. we had to shut all the blinds and windows to keep the cold out, light candles (power was out and fire provided warmth), and huddle around in blankets. we had to charge our phones in a car, and the house only stayed (sort of) warm enough because we boiled water on the gas stovetop. the temperature dropped to the tens and twenties if i remember correctly- we got snow, but it was the weird hard ice sludge kind.
tldr; cold, drastic measures, memories,
cold, no power, and cold.
So what was the really bad part?
Consider yourself lucky you had a gas stovetop. Many Texans had it much worse. No source of heat at all, and they weren't educated on the risks of pipes freezing, so naturally, they left their water on and pipes burst and flooded so many residences. So much so, that some municipals couldn't keep the pipes pressurized. You had water and gas, just no electricity. Imagine losing all 3 without being prepared!
@@nobodycares4321 it wasnt bad texas just doesnt have cold gear. its happened before but with the whole outbreak it made it worse.
It wouldn't have been bad at all, if after the last time it happened, Ercot followed proper procedures and set up for an actual winter. But, that costs money, so they just let it happen again instead.
@@Veristelle- Ah okay thank you you're the only one that ever answered my question
We have known about this for decades, and i have been warning about it for years. Unfortunately lawmakers don‘t care and don‘t want to require electromagnetic protection mechanisms in the power grid, ect.

As a kid I used to be envious of people who are born in places that have snow
but now I am thankful because snow is very terrifying if you're not well off
That blizzard in Texas at the beginning of 2021 was terrifying. Our daughter was born right before the snow started falling. I lived further north, for years, and had been through actual blizzards. What I worried about was how everyone else not used to this type of weather would act. If we hadn't had a baby on the way, and my wife wasn't on maternity leave when all this happened, we would have been trapped in that huge car pileup on 35 bringing her home from work. We got so lucky during that blizzard. Our house had been pretty well stocked as we'd just been shopping before we went to the hospital to have the baby, and we lived just close enough to emergency services that our apartment complex was tied to their uninterruptable grid, so we didn't lose power, heat, or access to clean water. While all this was going on I read a news article about a family who had a baby on the same day our daughter was born who didn't survive the freeze because their neighborhood lost power and their pipes froze.
The Almighty is looking out for you! Keep the faith! 🙏
There was once a solar storm that occurred, it was so bright, birds would start singing because they thought it was day time. This was back when newspapers were the main source of the media and it stunned the world into thinking the end days were coming. It was called the Carrington Event.
Tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video.
During the "Texas freeze", i took my wife and kids to my sister's since she had power...then returned home to ride it out with our dogs.
I woke up overnight from flashing lights and realized it was th FD, one house over burned down from people lighting a fire for warmth...everyone lived.
When the power came back on, it was 34F in my house.
Not really related to anything other than the beginning of the video.
Good on you for getting the family to safety and holding down the fort with the pups, must have been odd but nice to have such peace and quiet lol
Abbott and the christian Taliban will gerrymander and get voted again.

@@nobodycares4321 @Nobody Cares Dude I'm from Arkansas and my wife and I just moved to Austin the December before. I was watching the weather a few days before so my wife and I went out and bought a dozen candles. Little did we expect, there was barely any insulation in the walls of the place we were in. There's barely any trees around us so we spent several hours a day for almost a week just collecting firewood. We could only get the house to 55°F. Luckily we had a 100 watt solar panel that worked most days.
The fact brew can survive without coffee long enough to make a liter, is suprising.
He's rationing
"Oopsie, I just knocked out the world's power supply" The ship said.
Thank you for talking about what happened in Texas this last Valentine's day! I felt so seen. Having survived the winter storm, I sincerely belive the death toll was much higher than 700. I believe that untold lives were lost due more indirect effects, like all the people who couldn't get dialysis and other medical intervention when they needed it, and people with fragile health who's bodies couldn't tolerate the stress of the below freezing temperatures.
And the several people who accidentally died from carbon monoxide poisoning while trying to stay warm...
I use wifi for my phone (no service on my area) so I was literally disconnected from everything. But luckily me and family knows how to survive without services since they grew up in farms back in the days.
@@sagejungwirth4155 I forgot about that, but you're right. It was bad.
man i thought he was giving a fictional post-CME apocalyptic scenario. i was floored to hear it was this year's Texas freeze.
Can you shine a light on this for me as somebody from New York who has been through multiple day long outages in the winter? Why didn't people just warm up and charge up their stuff in cars? Why didn't people just drive a few hours and stay in a hotel? Were people too scared to drive in snow? So much that they would starve or freeze?? Like there's so many things about surviving the cold without power that are obvious to me that seemed to escape Texans. I'm not trying to be offensive or disrespect people that died, I just genuinely don't understand why people would let it get so bad without any intervention
Also keep in mind that during the Carrington event telegraph wires caught the polls on fire. What do you think that'll do to the wires inside the walls of your house?
Probably not much. Much more worried about the fires along transmission lines, substations melting, and power plants becoming disasters...
Nothing at all because the wires in your walls aren't .5mm thick. Telegraph/telephone wires have a tiny diameter, you can make them glow red hot with a generic 12V power supply from a laptop (don't do this please).
@@supermaster2012 amperage plays more a role in making things glow. Telephone lines are 48V...
@@supermaster2012 better check again, telegraph wires were ran in 8 Awg steel on the poles to account for voltage drop or signal degradation, that's 40Amp, twice the amp rating of your typical receptacle.
i was doing fine until I saw this video and now I have to spend the whole night thinking about what's going to happen
thank you brew, very cool
The real question is, can we use these storms to do the opposite, and actually power our world? Harness the protons and electrons to make a sort of back up electricity supply incase a 2 year long black out were to occur.
I think we could, and probably should, as it could save money, information, and even lives.
The closest thing we have to that is solar panels, otherwise no, it's not possible
The sun is doing that.
Oh my boy, that's quite the naive hypothesis. We're far too primitive for that, gonna have to wait another hundred years or more for us to get that advanced.
@@radornic2387 We are plenty advanced for that. The reason we don’t have access to that tech is purely due to how it would effect the worlds economy and the wallets of the uber rich. So tech gets carefully introduced as to not disrupt the current balances of power. My main gripe with capitalism.
It’s actually a simple concept, and yes we have tech that could theoretically convert a geomagnetic storm into energy we can use. It would be very similar to how hydroelectric power is made by passing water. But that wouldn’t be the only way either.
These have been scaring me for so long
I’m not sure my family is prepared for this and I’m sure if I asked they’d shake me off, even though they have experienced the recent ones. I’m just gonna have to stock up on paint and drawing supplies

You never know, its might get better after a solar storm, although it probably wont be better, most interesting maybe, not better though
You'll be fine, honestly. The most Solar Flares will do in our lifetime is cause some blackouts, disrupt small scale telecoms and such.
Yeah
You will be ine, in mi lifetime, with 36 years old, the world was about to end like 5 times if mi math doesnt fail, i was so tired, and i read about the effect, and not only i doscover that there are several satelites around the sun, and plas already for these, not to menntion, that in order for a carriington event to happen, you need first to be in solar season, and i am not sure, but i think we are in the solar minus season, and i think we were since 3 years ago, not sure, second, you need a strong season, of solar activity, wich is rare, like 10% probability rare, and then you need less than 12% to have a carrington event, i am not saying it is never gonna happen, but is si improbable, that is really low

Food will be gone in hours as panicked people storm stores. Food that cannot be stored or cooked will go bad. Forget heating and cooling. I wish I could be more optimistic. But I can't. I've seen too many able bodied and intelligent people who cannot put a spare tire onto their vehicle. They drive on a flat and wonder why they need a new tire.
Own books. You can't imagine how much knowledge will be lost when the solar storm hits. It's not a matter of if, but when it happens.

I'm having flashbacks to Veritasium's "These are the asteroids to worry about" Video... I wonder why 😂
The whole reason DARPA developed the Internet in the first place was to maintain communication in the event of a nuclear war, which causes the same sort of EMP problems. I'd expect Internet to have way fewer problems than the power grid. There just flat out do not exist extras of some of the giant transformers used by major power grids, so they would have to be built from scratch, and the lead time on getting one is months. And if everywhere needs one all at once...
That was some fantastic fiction.
Try reality.
It was called ARPANET and nerds were trying to get house sized computers to network in the 60s. In the event of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union everyone would be dead or dying.
@@jatpack3 not even 25% of all nuclear weapons would successfully launch, the vast majority of nuclear warheads are low yield unreliable ones from the 50s and 60s mounted atop of primitive ICBMs from the same period that haven't been upgraded at all since. Ffs, the nuclear launch codes for the entire US arsenal were 000000000000 for almost 20 years.
In a solar storm the loss of Internet would be my least worry. My biggest worry is having one big enough that it fries the electrical system for a few months to a few years. There's other stuff besides the internet that relies on electricity.
Like ovens. Fridge's freezers. Heat to heat our homes. Definitely more important things! Than the internet.
Let's face it the 1960s and the 1970s and before that! People coped without the internet.
Good, I welcome it. People may actually talk to each other and be closer to one another than being on social media and the best part, no media to spread like cancer.
Yeah, the loss of the internet would be just a side effect. We'd lose the power grid nation wide if we had one big enough. Not to mention all cell phones would be gone, along with anything vulnerable to EMPs.
There’s this book called “Edge of Collapse” and is really interesting.
It’s about this woman with a family, getting kidnapped by someone previously considered trustworthy. She is trapped in a basement for 5 years, never having left it once. Her kidnapper, during this time period, repeatedly rapes and tortures her, eventually impregnating her. And then, on the fifth year of her being in captivity, a solar flair hits the earth, creating an EMP (electro-magnetic pulse). She then escapes from captivity, due to the simple fact that her captor held her there using electric-powered doors/locks. She and the readers both quickly discover how chaotic the world can become without restrictive technology (or any technology at that).
This story primarily takes place in 2024. Ironic, right?
But yeah, this book series is very intriguing and I strongly suggest you read it if you can.
thanks brew now i have another thing to worry about
We were lucky during that winter snomageddon. We live about a 15 minute drive from my grandmother, 1 bridge and 2 towns over.
We lost power from those "rolling" black outs, as well as my late uncle down the road. We had a little battery start up that could also run small appliances. As the tempature continued to dip, we still had internet and phone.
Our driveway seemed inescapable. We called out grandmother, to check in, she still had power. After being pushed to the brink of cold, unable to light a flame. We decided to just go over there. First trip took us and our suppies. This 10 to 15 minute drive took 30 - 45 minutes. The bridge, usually nothing, was absolutely terrifying.
Once we got home, my father and I left again, to go back and pick up my uncle. After that returned once more, to pick up our dog and my cat. Even though I was willing to stay home with them, being the best to weather through.
We stayed there for 3 nights. I only had to work one day during this, at the only store open, with no water, thus no restrooms. After learning that we had power from a neighbor, we returned home with over 20 jugs of water from my grandmother's sink. We went 3 additionsl days without water,, and made use of 4 tubs of snow, and 4 additional jugs of murky pool water for other uses,, like flushing, washing, etc.. Luckily, we didn't have busted pipes. We were very lucky considering. I never liked the snow to much, outside of it's beauty. This wasn't beautiful. It was painful. A white wasteland. The thaw was one of the most beautiful things I've seen this whole year.
Note, before anyone starts replying about how this is nothing, remember this. WE LIVE IN TEXAS. Texas rarely gets cold like this. Our towns, our stores, our people are not prepared. No one has snow tires or anything. Few people own snow shovels. And good luck finding small downs with a usable plow to shift snow off to the side of roads. This is was made what many would consider normal, a true disaster for us. It's like if a 100° heat wave hits an area that never goes about 85, and lost power, causing several to deal with insufferable heat with no preparations. To us. That would be summer. To someone more up north, probably torture.

I was terrified for a little bit but now I am going to prepare myself
As a canadian I can confirmed I am prepared with my immense amount of firewood, gasoline to make more firewood, and a battery setup. Also, I think a big concern that people should be focused on in this situation, especially for any city dwellers that may be reading, water and hygiene. You should always have some number of water jugs prepared in case of any power outage and chlorine or iodine tablets ready to go. I'd also reccomend you buy a tiny amount of firewood if you have the ability to make fires where you live, this could save your life!
Gasoline doesn't really last all that long, usually a year at most if you aren't using the very best stabilizers, then about 2 years at most from what I hear, I hope you have a manual way to make firewood too.
