Sorry but people lived centuries without power, I think well manage.

Whether the story is bull or not, does not matter that much though, an EMP attack could occur at any time.

Keep in mind that Iran has satellites. A satellite may be used to detonate an EMP over the U.S. If Iran is attacked by the U.S., an EMP attack is not impossible nor unlikely, unless they take out their satellites first. Just saying...

Can we throw one of these mylar/plastic blankets over our cars, do you know?

From what is in the article and what I've read elsewhere, an EMP of that range and magnitude would be achieved by a high altitude nuclear detonation. Maybe that's why you would have 30 minutes to get out of the area. Might be that long before the radiation and shock wave would reach the ground.
