Since when would something like this take out just the internet lol. Shouldn't all modern electronics, including cars stop working, and shouldn't the effect be permanent? That's what they told us in the past.
I still have a phone that is landline. Also, I have a cell phone.
That's true but how many of us actually have old school ll? My MIL does only because she can't figure out how to use a cell phone nor keep it charged, dementia, otherwise healthy.
I still have a landline, and I believe I still have an old school phone hanging around here somewhere in a closet, not a rotary one but push button. Oh and also still have one of my kids old M&M’s phones from years ago.
I kept a landline and that’s the number I give out when business ask for a phone number because it means less scam calls to my cell phone. If someone calls the house phone and I don’t know who they are, let it go to voicemail, then if they leave a message (which most don’t) I just delete it.
If they were analog lines you would be fine and they would work no problem, unfortunately many providers switched big sections of the US to digital so I don’t think those with digital land lines will continue to have service. I guess I’ll find out great.
It's a lot easier to SAY we're gonna knock out the internet than to actually do it.
That's why it's never happened yet.
Fiber is mostly used for the main arteries of data, but most end points (your house) rely on copper.
If we had a large one like the Carrington Event in 1859, the biggest problems would be things like power lines would be shorted out as they act like long wire antennas for the energy, iirc back then it blew out the telegraph system and melted train tracks as they are like long antennas.
It is not like a nuclear EMP where it frys the small electronics in cars and computers.
But could induce high voltage, high amps into your home power circuits but there are things to mitigate this similar to lighting protectors.
We have ways of detecting the solar flare so there is a chance you will be told ahead of time and can do something like unplug everything and i would guess the power companies must have some way of disconnecting the grid from the long power lines to help reduce the damage.
The biggest problem would be after the power grid is down it will take months and months if not years to fix it all as most of the big transformers have a 6month lead time and with everyone wanting them i could see some areas without power for a long time.
Its been a while since i read up on the effect of huge solar flares but that is what i remember, best thing you can do is prep with generators and some solar panels and maybe plan to go back to living like its the 1700's or like the amish :)
Heah
