An EMP over America wouldn't do as much crap as those doom and gloomers
want you to think it would.

Depends on the size and the source. An H-bomb going off next to you
would give you one hell of an EMP, not that you would have time to
notice. Modern chips are fabricated with 45nM features and the move is
on to 22nM, which means even 1 volt would arc over them.
Do the math.
You wouldn't have time to do any mathematical musings.
Any thermonuclear activity strong enough to produce more than a mere click in
your receiver would have to be close enough to include you in its blast zone,
and would likely sublime you and your calculator, abacus, or whatever device you
were using to distract yourself.
That's what I meant.
POOF!
