Evilgoat:
OK to go with the what if thread.

I'll post a few more of these as time goes on but here we go.

As mentioned there has been a significant event inside our sun. The result is a huge streem of charged gas is headed for earth. Upon inpact experts have decided that the following events are highly likeley.

1) Destruction of the national grid (and equivilents) and switchgear internationally. The damage may take months to get people back onto the grid.

2) Total destruction of all space-bourne electronics including the IIS. Some systems might be restarted.

3) In relation to one, loss of water and sanitation services, public transport, over 80% of all veichles disabled and damage to aviation systems while in transit

4) Short term disruption and loss of ALL radio services except possibly VLF frequencies. Some may return but receivers would likeley be damaged.

5) There is very little you can do, its hiogghly likeley that almost 100% of electronic and electrical kit will be affected or destroyed. Anything connected to transmission lines will almost certainly be wrecked. Turning it off wont help and there is a real possibility magnetic media will be damaged.

6) Modern silicon based computer systems will fail, how they will fail isnt predictable but they will fail and possibly be damaged beyond recover (see 5 about transmission lines)


7) Global failure of telecomunications with the loss of Sattelites, damage to local, nation and international networks. Fibre cabling is immune, repeaters and tranceivers arent.

You have 24 hours... what are you going to do? Clocks ticking its only 23hours, 59 minutes and 30 seconds now...

Bury a Iso container and cover, but hinge the door area, with the metal grid sheets used in reinforced concrete.

Stick everything useful in it, then sit back and relax.
