"raining nukes" is unlikely to be how it plays out in the end

The most effective way to use a nuke isn't to drop it on a hardened target or a city

See Starfish Prime

Airburst - 10-20 miles up (not so high it fries all the satellites in orbit). The EMP will wipe out electrical and telecommunication grids for several hundred miles in every direction. Negligible fallout, blast or radiation damage on the ground - unfortunately anyone looking in the wrong direction at the time will need a new set of retinas
