“Common sense tells me no man made EMP can be as powerful as a jolt of lightning “

Yep. Another goodie: If EMP can take out all things electronic and electrical, just how did we capture in video, sound, and electronic measurements EMP in the first place? Wouldn’t EMP have destroyed those things?

Yet, airplanes flew, ships sailed, and electronic measurements were recorded.

The ships were made of wood and the men were made of iron.

Check out the information on the Starfish Prime Nuclear Test. It caused electrical problems in Hawaii over 900 miles away. This was in 1962, I'm just speculating here, but circuits are much smaller and I think more susceptible to EMP effects if not properly shielded.
