Most EMP fears are based on probabilities and some limited empirical data. Basically, EMP is Global Warming for the Right.
Needs to be a high altitude detonation, and yes, some Pacific nuclear detonations disrupted (the then primitive) electronics in Hawaii - all discussed in the prescient book Apocalypse Rising.
It has to be at a certain height to acheive the Compton scattering effect.
