Not really. You need to unplug them — and disconnect from large antennas (if you have one). This may only be partially effective. Any long wire is capable of picking up enough of a potential to possibly damage sensitive semiconductor components, even with the device off (off switches have at best a small gap that can…

As I recall, he said something about, “based on theory and conjecture”. I still use that phrase when I mean b*llsh*t.

In order to produce a large EMP effect, the bomb has to be detonated above the atmosphere. This produces the maximum ionization of the upper atmosphere resulting in the most EMP effect. The bombs dropped at the end of WW2 were detonated at relatively low altitude, producing a minimal EMP effect, but probably one that…
