A Russian Super-EMP Bomb Could Instantly Destroy America…

EMP and the Shield Act
The best investment is the one that saves your life. House Bill 668 is called the Shield Act. Without passage of the Shield Act millions of Americans will remain at risk in the event of an EMP attack. What is an EMP attack? A nuclear warhead detonated at high altitude produces gamma rays that damage electrical infrastructure on the ground. In July 1962 the United States tested a 1.44 megaton bomb at an altitude of 400 kilometers in the mid-Pacific. More than 800 miles away, in Hawaii, 300 streetlights were knocked out, alarm systems were triggered, and a telephone company microwave unit was damaged. If the test had been closer to Hawaii, the effects could have been devastating.
In 1962 the Soviet Union carried out three nuclear tests, specifically to learn what altitudes produce the most effective EMP. To produce a more powerful EMP effect, a nuclear bomb must be detonated in close proximity to where the planetary electromagnetic field is strong. Typically, that means detonation at an altitude of 30 to 200 kilometers. Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) creates energy that enters electronic devices and power lines on the ground, causing massive power surges. Transformers blow, electronic devices are fried.
