[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1021392, member: 369937"] If a big one like what happened back in 1859 happened today we would be back in the stone age technology wise, signal flags, carrier Pigeons and maybe even horse back as almost all cars, trucks and most planes now days have some sort of computer or IC chip running them. Some vacuum tube stuff would be operational but how to power it? Battery's maybe, hand crank possibly, but it would be years before we could get back on our feet and maybe to about 25% of where we are now communication wise. Maybe some of the military radiation hardened stuff would survive, but the average Joe would be lost and back in the 1800's. [/QUOTE]
