Granted, Forstchen's talks about a terrorism scenario with multiple nuke air bursts over different parts of the country (remember the 'missile launch' off of the west coast last fall?) but as Kim points out, it could be a natural cause like a large CME... It doesn't sound like the system would withstand any large hit. --- On Sun, 3/20/11, Kim Noyes <kimnoyes@gmail.com> wrote: From: Kim Noyes <kimnoyes@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [californiadisasters] Electromagnetic Pulse: Effects on the U.S. Power Grid To: californiadisasters@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, March 20, 2011, 4:59 PM   The real threat is another 1859 Carrington Event. We had a rather close call earlier this year. Or was it late last year? The huge CME just missed us. On Sun, Mar 20, 2011 at 3:54 PM, Louis N.
