If a big one hits we lose most satellites, and all current operating power systems that aren't protected by a Faraday cage, note almost everything, will be lost. Transformers could literally melt from the excess electricity causing a cycle that could take a very very long time to get power back. |
Of Course this would happen in a year that the Chiefs get:
The first pick in the draft. A Superbowl proven GM who chooses the best coaches. KC is chosen to host the Superbowl. |
OMAHA! OMAHA!

but it would render EVERYTHING electronic unusable - modern vehicles, phones, medical devices, toys, etc. we would truly be back to the 1800s, but without the society or skills to survive in that era. it would be a disaster of epic proportions - disease, starvation, murder. |
