Anonymous Coward User ID: 1691552 United States 11/30/2012 11:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | According to this news article from Gismeteo [link to www.gismeteo.ru] Around 20:15 local time yesterday a bright flash illuminated the whole city. Shortly afterwards most of the city's power was lost for about two hours. Anything from television sets to street lights. As noticed in the video some car lights and the radio stopped working as well. Some people even reported their room light bulbs changing color through the spectrum and or showing some weird unusual lights. Quoting: Snuffielover The power company explained it all as 'A cat that wandered into a power transformer booth and caused a short circuit.' Must have been Nyan-Cat or the power company people are lying. What are your thoughts? It's way too powerful of an EMP blast to be simple lightning. NYAN CAT ROFLMAOLOL |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21098952 An emp would have taken down the power permanently fool. Over a way larger area also fool. This site keeps getting dummer not smarter. NONE of you read up and educate yourselfs on the subjects you chime in with. Makes you look like the idiot that you are. Uneducated idiot. So you insult the intelligence of individuals in this thread. Btw, its dumber... I highly doubt any of you have any first hand knowledge about this subject. Provide some information to corroborate this, links, books, whatever. All of you need to quit thinking you know it all without providing a shred of data to back these claims up.

"Cat" symbolizes something important in the geo-politics... what ?? " When the specialists of "Novgorodenergo" (power grids company of Veliky Novgorod) at November 28, 2012 opened a switchgear in substation "Eastern", they found the remains of a cat, which caused a short-circuit, which led to power outages in the city of Veliky Novgorod," [link to hainanwel.com] . |

Snickrot User ID: 4070114 United States 11/30/2012 12:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ok, that looks like a substation blew up. IF it was an EMP there would only be one flash and not that bright. There are multiple green flashes which is what happens during a substation explosion. I live across the street from one that blew once. The economy is doing great. More green shoots each day. Consumer confidence is great. Unemployment is dropping. Stocks are soaring. Europe is saved. I like flouride. Chemtrails are pretty. FEMA camps sound fun. ~Anonymous Coward 1382145 No nation has ever benefited from prolonged war. ~Sun Tzu |

Patrick Bateman User ID: 28398103 United States 11/30/2012 12:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That's what I thought too...once EMP hits, all the stuff is done. It depends on the EMP. I am pretty sure the technology exists to be able to control the extent of the damage. Yes, you could produce an EMP that would fry everything permanently, or you could do what is mentioned in the OP. |

I will try the text without the link. The link is " Veliky Novgorod Coat of Arms " . This symbol - Veliky Novgorod Coat of Arms - came to me in 2008 a few months before the Russia/Georgia "war." The symbol shows two bears standing by the throne. The Russian President [at the time] Medvedev and the Georgian President's nickname, Misha, both symbolize a bear. Also, in 2010, there was cryptic news of Vladimir Putin's "wedding" in Novgorod. . |

Snuffielover (OP) User ID: 22962224 Russia 11/30/2012 01:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Replying to all those saying it would not be an EMP of any sort. I have personal experience with lights flickering and brief AM radio receiving difficulties / cracking just by the line of our streetlights heating up when turning on at the same time (380 volts) which is strange given the arguments below. I'd figure even if a transformer failed, then there would be some form of an EMP element to it. News sources are conflicted, eyewitnesses notify the press about lightbulb radiance and color anomalies as well. Many say other parts of the city which were fed by other transformers and independent lines suffered power outages as well. Or that was the Mother of all power spikes city - wide. Coming to think of it, my own house lights acted very weird for around fifteen seconds pulsing and flickering just around the exact time it happened in Veliky Novgorod. Please keep in mind that Moscow is a few hundred kilometers away, not to mention on a completely different power grid. Another argument to look at is that the Soviet power transmission grid is strongly guarded against EMP, being designed with Nuclear war in mind. There are fail-safes and redundancies. (Unless they are all drunken away and have fallen into disrepair.) Probably some systems a common Russian wouldn't even know about. Since all throughout this summer we had thunderstorms, severe ones even. And with lightning comes a local EMP and power spike (heck, gamma rays even!) our power kept on going. If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes. |
