Washington D.C. is among America’s “most vulnerable” cities for extraterrestrial threats, a study published Friday reported.

What if you woke up one day and realized your alarm didn’t go off, your phone won’t turn on. And neither will your lights. Outside your window, you can’t hear sirens. But there are screams.

This is one of a few possible futures for America’s major cities like Washington, D.C., and Milwaukee if people don’t protect the power grid from a major extraterrestrial threat, according to a study published by the Royal Astronomical Society. Data gathered and analyzed by the British Geological Survey (BGS) found that specific areas of the continental U.S. are more vulnerable to solar/geomagnetic storms — or “space weather” — than others.

“We have identified certain regions of the US (Washington DC area and Milwaukee) which are repeatedly appearing as ‘highly connected’ in our network, hence are possibly regions particularly vulnerable to the effects of space weather and may benefit from further monitoring,” BGS’s Dr. Lauren Orr said in a statement.

Geomagnetic storms essentially force solar filaments (arcs of electrified gas known as plasma) through the sun’s atmosphere. These particles then mess with the ionosphere’s magnetic charge, which in turn messes with the upper atmosphere and particles on the ground.

Previous geomagnetic storms were powerful enough to explode underwater mines, burn out telegraph lines and could render all those stupid apps on phones as redundant as they absolutely should be.

Orr claimed more research is needed to ascertain specifically why just a few U.S. cities are at greater risk than others. Reasons identified thus far include “electrical conductivity of the ground, the physical construction of the power grid in those areas, or the location of the auroral currents in the sky.” (RELATED: Scientists Finally Realize We’re Totally Unprepared For The Next ‘Big One,’ And It Ain’t An Earthquake)

For whatever reason, this enormous threat isn’t very important to lawmakers. So if you wake up one day and the lights are out, please remember that the rich men north of Richmond had every opportunity to mitigate this disaster and chose to do absolutely sod all.
