EMP effect was discovered during 1960s nuclear bomb testing. One bomb burned out part of the Hawaii power grid, over 800 miles away. That bomb was not specifically designed to create EMP. There are bombs today that are designed to cause EMP.

Yes, according to OSINT nuclear warhead info, was that Russia had 25-50 EMP specific warheads, mainly to disrupt commo in the DC area, Kings Bay, Bremerton, Site R, Camp David, Omaha, Barksdale AFB, Whiteman AFB, and the LCC Minuteman facilities in the Dakotas.

Stay 100 miles away from silos and SLBM/bomber bases and you'll be ok ;) I'm not scared of nukes, they are just big explosives with a some nasty residual effects....I'm scared of the panic that misinformation causes and esp. Demoncrats being on the NCC and JCoS and executive branches.

Right you are. Look up “Argus tests”. A megaton sized device was exploded over the Pacific and had exactly the effect you mentioned. BIG area affected!
