Well I'm glad things were calm. I doubt we'd see a breakdown of civil order all that fast, but if we had a solar event or an EMP event that pretty much took out global communications and transportation, that's going to be one unholy mess for months. The Amish in Pennsylvania and thereabouts, with their horse-drawn buggies and 18th Century lifestyles, might actually do okay, but from what I've read, they do use electricity for lighting, pumps, clotheswashers etc. So even they would have to adjust.
