A nuclear device detonated miles above the country would knock out land lines, cell phones, controls that monitor our infrastructure such as fresh water and sewage. There would be no power, no security, no communications and the effects of this would be amplified for people living in the major cities such as New York and Los Angeles.
Consider that there would be no fresh water, no food trucked into your grocery stores which are only minimally stocked as it is. Within just a few days, the threat of cholera would begin as well as other water born illnesses.
You would only have a few days to get out of the city before law and order completely broke down, people looking to steal whatever they could to survive.
It's a little thing that government officials never talk about, though you all know... Senators and Congress folks have a safe bunker waiting for them and their families. How well prepared are we in this type of event? probably not good enough! just food for thought.
US would be crippled by an EMP attack, which we pioneered nearly 60 years ago
