Right now it's not some ELE event that scares me as much as it would be a CME taking out the worlds power supplies. At least a ELE will most likely kill swiftly. A CME talking all electricity away in an instant is more scarier because no one is dead yet and the chaos is going to be unimaginable. No medications, no instant food, no running water out of the tap, etc. Most of the non 3rd world countries will go mad. Neighbor pitted against neighbor for survival. You can't just grab your rifle and go hunting when every other Tom, Dick and Harry is doing the exact same thing. It wouldn't be long before you may be on the menu. When hunger kicks in all dignity leaves.

I don't know man, why would they take up precious space with books? Surely they can just get them in ebook format and store them that way. Seems way more effecient to me.

It happened in the 1859, Einstein. A solar storm hit earth that would most likely have wiped out all power today. Have you not heard about history repeating itself. If it was to happen today it would be devastating because unlike the 1800's we didn't rely on cellphones, electricity, computers, and everything else that rely on a power station. Before you attack someone about what they have read up on do yourself a favor and read some too.

I'm with you, I want to believe we will survive such an event but I also know that my days are numbered anyways and that I might not want to survive a disaster like this. If something does happen in the near future I wish us all the best. Even you "notimportant"
