EMP won't in and of itself hurt humans. However, if you're talking on the phone, or holding a power tool or something, you could quite likely get shocked.

I don't think it is quite as easy as PM tries to indicate but it's still somewhat scary what the effect of two or three of those going off in NYC would cause.
