EMP Attack #2

To answer a few of the comments...
Yes, I know I cheated and used my digital camera but I wanted to document it so we could remember later! SHH, don't tell anyone :)!

An EMP stands for Electromagnetic Pulse. I don't know everything about it, but if a nuclear bomb is set off in high in the air the particles float down and will wipe out all electricity, anything with magnetic chips or computerized and batteries I believe. Any car made after the 1970's would no longer work, cel phones, ipods etc. wouldn't work either, and because all of our running water is pumped electronically we wouldn't have water either (the cities generators would kick on for a while). We don't know that the water would not be contaminated anyway. This sounds unreal but in fact it is very real (you can look it up online) and the scary thing is every country with nuclear weapons knows about it. It would completely devastate our country or others without doing any actual physical damage. They have stuff about it all the time on the military channel, if your bored :)!
