The “
super derecho”
storm that pounded the Washington D.C. area on Friday night with
hurricane-force winds is being called unprecedented. But the truth is
that there are other events that could happen that would be far more
damaging to our power grid. For example, a substantial EMP burst over a
major U.S. city would fry virtually all of the electronics in the city
and take the power grid in the area down indefinitely. A gigantic EMP
burst over the entire country (caused by a massive solar storm or a very
large nuclear explosion high in the atmosphere) could theoretically
take down the entire national power grid.
