\"Electromagnetic<\/a>What would America look like with absolutely no electricity?\u00a0 Could you survive in a world with no lights, no cell phones, no computers, no televisions, no ATMs, no cash registers and no refrigerators?\u00a0 Such a world is not as far away as you might think.\u00a0 A very powerful nuclear blast directly over the center of the continental United States could potentially fry electronic equipment from coast to coast, and it would take months or even years to fully restore power.\u00a0 During that time, the entire country would be plunged into chaos and experts tell us that tens of millions of Americans would die.\u00a0 But even if we are never attacked by a nuclear weapon in that manner, scientists assure us that it is inevitable that a massive electromagnetic blast from the sun will produce a similar result someday anyway.\u00a0 In fact, back in 1859 a giant solar storm that came to be known as\u00a0\u201cthe Carrington Event\u201d<\/a>\u00a0fried telegraph machines all across North America and Europe.\u00a0 If a similar event happened today, life as we know it would be brought to an abrupt halt, and chaos would ensue from coast to coast.<\/p>\n

In two days, a bold new movie will be released in theaters that portrays what the aftermath of such an event would look like in this country.\u00a0 It is entitled \u201cAMERIGEDDON\u201d, and it was directed by Mike Norris, the son of Chuck Norris.\u00a0 You can view the official trailer for the film\u00a0right here<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n
