Re: Is it better to watch an HD news channel in the event of an imminent nuclear atta

I would think the first warning we'll get is all the TV and Radio stations go off air simultaneously quickly followed by all electrical power as EMPs take out everything electrical that isn't hardened including all mobile phones.

That's assuming you haven't already gone into orbit with most of your surroundings or been fried to a crisp.

Funnily enough we had a power cut a few days ago and the first thing I checked was to put the radio on battery and see if R4 was still on the air. Maybe it's having lived through an era when a nuclear exchange was a very real threat.
