Oh, apparently I do have a plan. If something happens like the grid going down all I have to do is find a way to make it to Indiana. I'll just take my damn bike if I have to. Anyway my cousins and aunt have several acres of land that is completely off the grid. Nice house with solar panels they have generators and such too. I haven't been out there in about 10 years so I'm not entirely sure what they have going on. What I do know is they have gardens of food and such and their house is completely off the grid.

If there's an EMP, I'm pretty sure the solar panels would be worthless too... need one of those Faraday Cages.

Aren't solar panels wholly sustained by sun? An EMP wouldn't knock out the sun...

The controller and all electrical components used to harness and relegate the power generated by the panel would be fried..the panel might still be intact but you wouldn't be able to use it.

Its not that, it's the circuitry that would be fried inside of it. The sun is what would trigger a large scale EMP anyhow.

I'll watch, but Im not sure why. This just screams getting cancelled. It looks like its going the same route as Flash Forward, The Event, V, No Ordinary Family, etc... There have been very few main stream SciFi TV shows to really make it.

Flash Forward actually had a pretty large following before it took like a 6 month hiatus.

Yea, I couldnt figure out why they took such a loooong midseason break. If I remember correctly a lot of it had to do with the writer's strike, but Im probably a bit hazy on that.

Strange...
National Weather Service Follows DHS In Huge Ammo Purchase
Paul Joseph Watson
Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Why would the National Weather Service need to purchase large quantities of powerful ammo? That’s the question many are asking after the federal agency followed in the footsteps of the Department of Homeland Security in putting out a solicitation for 46,000 rounds of hollow point bullets.
A solicitation which appears on the FedBizOpps website asks for 16,000 rounds of .40 S&W jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullets, noted for their strength, to be delivered to locations in Ellsworth, Maine, and New Bedford, Mass.
A further 6,000 rounds of S&W JHP will be sent to Wall, New Jersey, with another 24,000 rounds of the same bullets heading to the weather station in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The solicitation also asks for 500 paper targets to be delivered to the same locations in Maine, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
The National Weather Service is is one of six scientific agencies that make up the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The solicitation requires a response by August 21.
The NWS is following its federal counterpart the DHS in securing large quantities of ammo. Back in March,Homeland Security purchased 450 million rounds of .40-caliber hollow point bullets that are designed to expand upon entry and cause maximum organ damage, prompting questions as to why the DHS needed such a large amount of powerful bullets merely for training purposes.
As the Business Insider notes, hollow point bullets have been “illegal in international warfare since 1899.”
The DHS is also planning to purchase a further 750 million rounds of different types of ammo in a separate solicitation that also expires on August 20, including 357 mag rounds that are able to penetrate walls.
The DHS recently put out an order for riot gear in preparation for the upcoming DNC, RNC and presidential inauguration. The U.S. Army is also busy buying similar equipment.
The DHS also recently purchased a number of bullet-proof checkpoint booths that include ‘stop and go’ lights.
The federal government is clearly gearing up for the likelihood of civil unrest on a scale that could outstrip what we’ve already seen in countries across Europe.
While the establishment demonizes the second amendment in light of recent mass shootings and legislation is prepared to ban the sale of large quantities of ammunition online, the federal government is acquiring ammunition at levels necessary to fight a full scale domestic war.

I will bet you all $1,000,000 the world does not end by the end of the year.

That seems like a good idea, until you try and get out and you realize you are buried a mile underground or under water.
