The key word there is "tend." I hope neither of us ever find out. I
saw on either the history or military channel....probably military
channel, a gentleman (don't know his credentials) explained what would
happen if there was an EMP blast and then explained what damage would
occur depending on the altitude at which the bomb exploded. At one of
