A 130 kiloton warhead is not to be underestimated. It produces an EMP on it's own.

True but if it is detonated up in the ionosphere it is expotentially magnified. 300 miles up would cover pretty much the entire US

Not for eastern kentucky, but a few thousand miles away maybe

130 KT x 3?
I don't think so. That's a firecracker. Unless detonated at exactly the same time, the EM effects wouldn't be additive.
What was the yield of the last warhead popped-off in the ionosphere that had serious electromagnetic effects?
