re: If there was a limited nuclear strike on America, what would happen?

No such thing as a limited nuclear strike it’s all or nothing.

It is the big boys I'm not worried about, cause they know the long term consequences and are fairly sane. It is the little guys, wannabe's like Iran or North Korea with the nothing to lose mentality.

If I was a "big boy", I'd do it and make it look like someone else did it.

Kind of hard to do when you’re incinerated.

If they hit Baltimore, would we even notice?

If you have to ask, you're not ready. Not at all.

Even a limited strike anywhere on US soil would unleash an EMP that would wipe out all vehicles, electronics, and the entire grid from coast to coast, and into even Canada and Mexico. There is no escaping the EMP.

The US as we have come to currently know it would be dead within seconds. Automobiles manufactured past the 1960s would be road ornaments. Trains, planes, ships and boats, all would grind to a halt, causing the supply chain to die where it stands. Food no longer gets where it needs to go. Medical supplies and other necessary and sundry items no longer make it to shelves. The banks don't work, and whatever money you had there is lost. The average American will be in a complete existential panic and overwhelmed with fear and desperation, and you'll have to face them when they come looking to get some of whatever you may or may not have. When people have no food, no transportation, no medical supplies, no temperature controlled environment and begin to realize it's now the new norm, the proverbial "SHTF" will occur.

You don't EVER want a limited nuclear strike. Anywhere. From the few things I listed above from the EMP alone, you can imagine what else will go down.

...and a run on home bomb shelters!

This company sells EMP equipment for your car and electronic equipment. IDK how effective it is and it gives me pause when I read their FAQ on how it works: LINK

How Does EMP Shield Work?
The EMP Shield can see and protect all the electronics and equipment connected to your electrical system.

This is accomplished by shunting (shorting) the over voltage coming in from the Grid and the voltage surges that are collected within your home.

Whether the electrons are collected within your home or are attempting to come into your electrical system from outside the home (the grid), the EMP Shield will see the surge and protect your electrical system. Since the shunting is completed incredibly fast (500 trillionths of a second), the over voltage is pulled away from the equipment before the voltage can rise high enough to damage any equipment. We call this new technology SightSpeed™ and it ensures no heat is generated within the electrical system which protects all electronics connect to the system.

Going back to college physics, it's not the electrons. It's the magnetic force that produces a electromagnetic field orthogonal to to the magnetic field that is beyond the carrying capacity of the conductive wire, so it just burns up like a light bulb filament.

Energy is waves, just like the ocean and conductive material with electrons are the medium in which the energy travels. When energy travels through the ocean it travels through the medium and does not carry matter with it. Same applies to electricity. Electrons move very slowly when electricity moves through wires.

That kind of EMP would occur through a high-altitude detonation, not from a one-off ground burst in a city.

this article from paul craig roberts says a high altitude nuclear explosion would take out the national electric grid. so it only takes one.

Premise of the book one second after. Three nukes detonated on edge of space wiped out the grid damn near nation wide. Launched from container ships..
