If your town got nuked.......

Just came across this. It gives you the radius of damage of a nuclear blast in your city.

I am on the edge of the fireball from the Little Boy, the bomb that they dropped on Hiroshima.

This only lists the known yields of older nukes. Who knows what some of today's nukes can do.

I'd be screwed, I live real close to GE aircraft engines and 30 miles from a big Air Force base.

Me too, we have two shipyards(one Naval, one NGC) within 15 minutes and a just about every branch of service has a base nearby.

Well, we're all screwed if an asteroid hits....

I know today's nukes are more than 100 times more powerful than those used in WWII. I doubt that means the blast radius is 100 times bigger...but it would certianly be much much bigger. Not only that, but ICBMs and such (like the Titan Missle) carry multiple warheads...like 20 or so of those 100x nukes. So yea...that would suck, lol.

Someone on base here told me that if we got nuked in Dayton, it would kill most of Cincinnati and Columbus as well depending on the prevailing winds that day,.

If somebody decides to drop a bomb on Angwin, Ca I'd pretty much be screwed. Of course, they'd be wasting their time unless they really hated Seventh Day Adventists.

I don't worry being from Canada. We are a better invasion target then nuke target.

We take care of ourselves; but if we were nuked I'd be safe even with a 400 kiloton.

I'd escape the blast, but we'd be swarmed by post-apocalyptic zombies.

I'd like to add, I'm not in the city limits, nor even close; just so ye get the idea of this city's size.
