I work in the communications industry and I can say quite confidently, your Cell phone will not work, nor your car, or your computer or TV. Your alarm system, at home, will die, along with your electric stove and water heater. Actually, 20 miles above the target area is enough to wipe out all electronics on the east coast.

Launch it off a soon to be scuttled boat to 200 miles up and disable the whole coast with no obvious bad actor to fight back against. The effect would make hurricane IKE look like a picnic. What can Homeland Security be thinking???? Will the 1880's technology still left working save the day? I think not. Never a good hand pump well around when you need one.
