That's good one.

I've worked in the mil electronics industry for a long time and most of
it has to pass extensive ESD, lightning, EMP testing. Any signifiant
distance from the blast zone this equipment will survive.

Same for your radios that are not plugged into either the AC mains or
antenna. Radios connected at the time to large SW antennas may not make
it. If the radio is sitting on a shelf, has a metal case and is not
connected to wiring of any sort it will survive no problem. Chances are
radios with a plastic case sitting on a shelf not connected to anything
will also survive.
