We found a shelter from the 60s that was still almost fully stocked with food, medicine, water, beds, reading material etc. It was several miles underground. Not someones home panic deal but one designated for the 'select few'.
The radio was a westinghouse 3 band transistor set. The most sensitive radio I have ever seen.
Not that any radio would work underground or there would be any stations on the air if there was a real attack. There may be some shortwave from other countrys.
Every time I think about that place I cant help think of the episode of the simpsons called barts comet.
Who wants to rot in a damp hole for a few years, lets go up on a hill and go out in style with a bang.
The emp pulse threat is fairly real. I dont know how much damage it would really do though. A big solar flare could set us back a few years...
