The Long Haul Home

When the Earth's magnetic fields began to wobble, huge earsplitting "cracks" began to form. They weren't physical cracks, but the ripping apart of the atmosphere. The shock waves created much destruction in addition to mini EMPs. These EMPs began knocking out the electrical grid and cell service. They disabled anything with a circuit: computers, phones, newer cars, etc.
