Yeah, OK.  Granted, the folks living in cities are pretty screwed, but it's 
not asteroid-hits-the-ocean kind of screwed. :-)

It's not like it's going to be a whole lot worse than, say, Katrina. Of 
course, if you cover half the country, that's going to be a problem. I don't 
know how big an EMP is. And you'll have trouble moving people without the 
vehicles working - you'd have to bring some in from outside.

Yeah, basically. Like I said, people in cities will be screwed.
