"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 [link to line-in-the-sand.blogspot.com] |

If your cars outer frame is metal, it will protect the car and anything inside the trunk or engine bay. It is not guaranteed but it is a chance to save vital electronics and possibly the functionality of the car. Do your absolute best and the rest is fate. |

I've seen and read that a cars tires is the reason you are actually safe from lighting strikes in your car. Now wouldn't this also keep it safe from a EMP/CME? You are safe from lightening because it conducts around you and into the ground. The lightening is such a high voltage that it will arc right past the tires easily. the vehicles shell is just a conductor that bypasses the passengers from electrocution. But induction from magnetic flux isn't a high enough voltage to arc past the tires. In this case you NEED to ground the metal shell to make it a shield against electronic induction. Same with tin foil hats (lol). They only magnify the signals unless the wearer has it grounded. Do your absolute best and the rest is fate. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 9117667 07/13/2012 08:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just thought of something. The sun is always spitting all this shit out... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16083263 does it ever suck shit in? YES it did at least once since satellites have been watching about a month ago, (J0479 had a "time reverses" ytube video about some woman claiming time ran backwards because her clocks were off about the same time which did make me consider briefly maybe time had slipped, but no corroborating evidence elsewhere), and as usual "scientists were surprised/confused/dumbfounded......." just like they were when the magnetospause briefly flipped several months ago (cosmic blast?). Keep in mind you can't call it "doom" when the high tech space observations are only a decade or so old, that data has to be correlated with proven records on earth like tree growth rings, ice core samples, sedimentary records, etc. Keep in mind some people insist this solar max is 65% weaker than expected, if there is one big scary thing here, it's how much these satellite observations are proving scientists and theories wrong. |

From the looks of it it's more than seconds... I don't think anything bad is going to happen but it seems like something that could be relatively unhealthy. “If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change.

| SteveWard3928 User ID: 19676268 07/13/2012 09:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NASA issued a solar storm warning awhile back for this years cycle...but people are not listening Actually this is NOT the big one that has been predicted. It is the biggest so far in the suns current cycle. Impact is scheduled for Saturday morning (07-14-2012). Lets just hope it does not hit where the ozone hole is at in the stratosphere. This is nothing to be playing or joking around with. If we get a major flare or Corneal Mass Ejection and it takes out the power grid. We all will be camping for the next few months to one year. That is how long it will take to repair and that is IF everything goes smoothly. What does no electric mean....no medications being made, no gas, no grocery no water from the cities as the pumps wont run, no phone, no computer, no lights (crime will increase), no batteries, no propane gas, no food production (factories require electricity) no TV and no radios. Anything that requires electricity...GONE! You get hot jump in a river, you get cold start a bonfire. Remember that show "Little House On The Prairie"? There you go. --Now add the record heat that caused thousands of new high temperatures last week and that 72% of the country is in a drought. This could get serious in a hurry. Farmers in Indiana usually produce 150 bushels of corn per acre but some are now expecting only 5 bushels per acre. That is no typo I said 5 (FIVE). Rain now may help a little but the damage is already done for this year's crop. Steve/Sherry |
