In a recent video Shepard Smith warns of a massive solar storm and just how long we would have to prepare. While he is trying to convince everyone this is not meant to scare them but to inform them…he advises that 12 short hours is all the warning we would have if a solar storm were to occur. See the video below:
The alarmist video does serve a good purpose and that is to forewarn others of the effects of a massive solar blast. The likes of which could be released from the sun, well anytime. According to the official Facebook post by Fox News:
“12 HOURS … THEN THE WORLD GRINDS TO A HALT: Officials say that’s all we’d get to prepare for the effects of a massive solar storm. They say millions of people could be left without power, and that communications and GPS systems could be down for days. Tell us: Are you ready?” –Source
The bottom line is that if a major solar storm hit the earth GPS, communication, power and other electronics would be completely useless. These essentials would not be out for a short time but for days, weeks, months and some speculate even years.
According to the official study, in order for the USA to rebuild its power grid after a massive solar blast it could take up to 10 years before everything returns to normal. In that time frame not only would it be practically impossible for power to return, but civilization as we know it would never be the same. The riots, wars, food and water shortages, and medical emergencies would have overtaken the land.
A national grid-down situation would be far more complex to repair
The recent storms that caused this “grid down” situation for millions of Americans was a local event, and its repair and restoration has been aided by workers arriving from outside the affected regions. In a national grid down scenario, however, there will be no excess human capital to lend to the situation. Every worker will be busy trying to restore the power grid in their own home regions.
This means repairs will take significantly longer, and according to some experts like David Chalk and James Wesley Rawles, a national grid down scenario has the potential of being unable to be repaired at all, resulting in years of no power grid which would obviously unleash mass death across the U.S. population.
Across all fifty U.S. states, only Texas has its own independent power grid, and even that grid has been strained by recent high temperatures. –Source
