Sunna,
The emp will just go through the earth and fry your electronics. You need at least 8 ft of earth all around.

I was just going to put my stuff in the microwave in a shoe box, i tried my phone in there and it didnt ring so i thought it would be ok???

i know some people use a microwave as a faraday cage.
If you had nothing else to hand and we got the heads up that an EMP from the sun was coming then most people have excess to a microwave in the home.
I dont know if an EMP could travel down the cable into the microwave.

OK you protected your phone.
Did anyone remember to place the cell phone tower inside a card board box and wrap it with tin foil?
