Calc War of the Worlds (2005) - The tripods emerge

Calculations

The tripods emerging from the ground cause earthquakes. Earlier in the movie, we're given the exact magnitude, so this will be easy.
War of the Worlds (2005) said:
News Repoter: The Ukraine, a country of some 52 million people, is in almost total blackness tonight, in the wake of a series of freakish lightning storms of catastrophic proportion, which struck the country at approximately 4 a. m. Local time. EMP, or electromagnetic pulse, which causes a temporary interruption of all electrical current within its field. As in the Ukraine, there are scattered reports that the EMP here was followed by seismic activity on the scale of an earthquake, measuring 6.5 on the Richter scale.
Enter 6.5 into the earthquake calculator and have you 3.5481338923358E+14 joules, or 84.802435285272466103 kilotons.

Final Results
Tripods cause earthquakes = 84.802 kilotons
