re: Nuclear War in South Louisiana

The first target in La. is Barksdale.
But there are so many warheads, at least in theory, in the Russian arsenal (less for China) that you get to some pretty uninteresting potential secondary targets.
It is highly likely the Russians can no longer deliver that many warheads, but they may not need to.
The radiation sickness and nuclear winter which would follow any attack would make commerce (the Miss. river, refineries, ports, even Ft. Polk) relatively insignificant.
But it is interesting that every community in the state thinks it must be a prime target!
