Very , very ungood. 

Talked with a ga power lineman inspector.  It will be 5 days before we have power. The pole that’s about 100 yards from the house will have to be replaced. It’s been there since 1955. The transformer and “ guts” are on the ground wrapped in a downed oak tree.   Down to 1 bar from the Verizon tower for the past 2 days. 

Dublin is a madhouse. Fisticuffs in the chick fil a drive through line today. Damn chicken sandwich ain’t worth fighting over or risk getting shot about. Folks are jamming the gas stations and hoarding gas . 

Just glad to be on this side of the grass. There’s no such thing as awful, this is all just a temporary inconvenience.

Hope this an eye opener for a lot of folks that prepping and preparing to defend your preps is not just for the projected solar flare EMP many are projecting. 
  
Many people will go insane over any situation that temporarily interrupts their electronically controlled lives. 

A poll taken 3 years ago said that 48% of American households have less than a 3 day supply of food.
