If you arent attaching it to anything, put it in a tinfoil sac. It will be fine and ready to go when needed, semiconductors and all.

Well, if you go into the physics of the whole thing, penetration depth, skin effect, absorbance, etc, you realize there's always a combination of factors that will screw up your silicon. Plus, if it's not in the bag when it hits, it gets fried. Plus, it should be more like a military-style box than a bag.

Tubes are just a heck of a lot harder to screw up, except mechanically.

Not if the storm lasts. Then his setup might be more useful.
