Yeah that link is cool too thanx - check em out ARE YOU SAFE!

Actually with the advent of technology most nuclear warheads have become much more accurate with CEP's

Yeah, I liver across the bay from CENTCOM/SOCOM in Florida. I know I will look over one day and just see the cloud. Fallout would hit us perfect here.

Since the end of the Cold War I haven't seen any lists that show Targeted Cities in the United States. I've found a few recent ones that show Western European Targets, but nothing for US Targets.

I always found it interesting to see what locations our enemies considered to be tactical threats. Some places like Detroit were once understandable. However, there were some off-the-wall places that were targeted out in the middle of nowhere.

Does anyone know of any online resources that list known targeted locations?

I checked out the website provided by the OP and found that ground zero was just a five minute ride by car from where I live. So I know I wouldn't see the cloud rising. I'd be lucky if I saw the flash before being vaporized.

I'm not sure Russian is our threat- China to me is a bigger problem and of course the Muslim Holy war issue backed by one of these big countries.

The Immediate threat would be a Nuke smuggled into the U.S-but this whole story as much as it seems possible could be unrealistic. If you take away 911 Incident(Being inside job or inside help) the last time anyone hit U.S soil was 2003 with The trade center Bombing-who knows if that was the first Poor attempt to bring down the towers?

Then again one Bomb in one U.S city will only Cause the “Hornets” to Nuke who every they think was responsible. If they think 2 or 3 countries were behind it maybe they’ll use the event to sort out their problems with some countries once and forever.

Remember we Nuked Japan in WW11, not because we were losing the war, but only because it would take too many lives to take the island and too much time to starve them out. Not a real Valid reason for Nuking them in my book. But we did it none the less.

Awesome find! I have been wanting that info, but I haven't taken the time to find it! I found out I am in the sunburn range for everything but the largest Nuke and the Asteroid! Assuming they struck the Capital Building downtown. I suspect that is where they would aim.

Star and Flag!

Not really imo, the bombings of Tokyo with magnesium and condensed fuel bombs [the fire and the strong winds] made 97.000 kills[some 10.000 more then Hiroshima or Nagasaki]..You don't hear people about that, but it took more effort to do that..The 2 nukes just showed who easy it would be to destroy Japan..And yes conquering the Islands would have made many more hundreds of thousand US deaths, maybe even more Russian deaths who just declared war on Japan....And it showed the future enemy USSR what toys they had in store...

Our record shows that we don't have ethics when it comes to some decisions. Maybe they should just leave us alone and do as we say OR ELSE! lol.

Hey don't forget to check wind directions in your city along with Blast Radius. I'm on the west side of Houston safe from fall out. Oh maybe you work within the blast radius ??? I'm outsdie of that too.

The Likely hood they'll explode it in a down town area during the day are high-they'll get more people in one area together on a busy work day.
