How would you survive?

I just finished reading a 2 book series called Last Light, Night Light By Terri blackstock.

If you've never heard of her, she is a Christian Fiction writer.

Basically the story is about the earth being hit with an EMP pulse. That lovely little thing that would knock out and destroy all of our electronics. Only in this story they determined that the pulse is coming from a star that died back in 1998 and has just now reached us. The real downer is as the star is spinning in space it keeps on hitting us with these pulses as it rotates. We can't even build new stuff and have them work.

The story follows one upper middle class family.

It totally gives you something to think about.
Have city water?
Well that won't be working.
Have a well water?
Nope not working either because of your pump.

Do you live any where near a body of water?
One that you can walk to? Because your car is no longer working.
Your neighbors are more then willing to kill you for your bicycle if you have one.

See where this going?

Can't count on any government help. They are all in the dark too. In fact the whole world is.

It also pointed out a few terrifying things for us parents.
What if your at work 10 miles away from home and your kids are at school 5 miles from home in the other direction? That is a 15 mile walk just to get to them.

How long would it take an out of shape 35 year old woman to walk 15 miles? Worse yet what if she still had a baby she had to bring with her?

Then there is the fact that you can't get to a hospital or the police can't respond.

Oh and just hope you weren't in a plane because they all fell out of the sky.
If a loved one was away traveling, don't plan on them getting home at all.

These books instantly throw you in to survival mode.

If you enjoy a good story that makes you think. I highly suggest these books.
