Content: Even meteors that explode in the atmosphere can cause immense destruction. The 1908 Tunguska explosion in Russia was cause by a meteor that exploded in the upper atmosphere with the force 1,000 times stronger than the bomb that leveled Hiroshima. Had it occurred in a very populated area, the death count would have been huge. Solar flares. Solar flares aren’t a problem unless they cause an eruption that is directed at the Earth. We become more vulnerable to damage from solar flares as we depend on the electrical grid for all aspects of our lives. This is because a strong enough flare can bring the electrical grid of an entire hemisphere down in a matter of minutes. Without power, there would be no way to fuel trucks to bring food supplies and medicines. Worse, there would be no power to keep our nuclear power plants from melting down. No matter what types of natural disasters you may face, it’s best to prepare and have well-rehearsed contingency plan with your family and loved ones.
