A Question For You All...

Last evening I put a movie on for the kids. Then Senior and I retired to the front porch of the estate.

While enjoying the peace and quiet of the night, I told Senior that my most important arch nemesis and her husband were planning a Jamaican vacation next year, and wouldn't it be awful if an EMP went off and they were stranded on that island.  ( I know I am vicious) . They would not last two days. She is from Brooklyn and firmly believes that no one should carry a gun, because she grew up on the mean streets of Brooklyn and never needed one so no one else should.

That discussion  got deeper when Senior said something about it almost happened a couple of weeks ago, the sun had back to back solar flares. He then thought about it for a few minutes and said this:
" It would suck to be on a cruise ship, in the middle of the ocean if an EMP went off, after a few days people would be so desperate they would resort to cannibalism"

That's  when the idea popped in my head for this blog post. My initial answer is the worse place would be 80 floors up on an elevator packed with people. Being air born on a plane ranks up there too as one of my top answers....

So now, I ask you good people the same question that Senior and I pondered last night:

 What is the worst place to get stuck at if an EMP went off and everything stopped working" ?
