Disruption does not equal destruction. The link you provided states that damage would likely NOT BE as bad as previously predicted. Do you have a link that shows that all electronics within "X" number of miles, percentages of electronics by radius? If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to admit it, but all I've seen on these links so far is "degraded" without specificity.
