(informal poll) - how merciful will your death be in the upcoming nuclear apocalypse?

Use this map to find out!

I'm in mid-city New Orleans. I'm betting the port of New Orleans gets a half a megaton?

That puts my family in the "air blast radius" - not in the fireball - but basically all buildings get knocked down and lots of fires and dead people. So it will be painful but not painful as in months - more like hours or days at the most.

Not in Florida.

Unless you consider having to pay for your own test every time you apply for welfare to be an informal poll.

I guess a lot of you folks live in BR. Exxon and the string of petro-chemical plants along the river should ensure complete destruction.

Dropped in the center of Houston (1000 kilotons) looks like I'm good. When I hear and see the explosion I better get my arse to the hill country though assuming I am at home. At work may be a bit more difficult.

I love this site thanks spidy.

stupid thread but great website.

Note: I will probably end up living and working the the rural parts of Louisiana so I think I would be far enough away from the blasts to survive the initial strikes, but the fall out would probably kill me.

than again, between baton rouge and new orleans are all of the chemical plants that may be a target of some of the small nukes.

I currently live in NOLA. I would likely die if it happened there.

You'll be OK if there aren't any real targets to the SW of you. Dig a hole and stay in it for 8 days. You'll be fine.

Might be true as far as fallout is concerned but we're close enough the initial blast would knock our house down and maybe set it on fire.

Spidey, didn't you get the memo? Sen Fienstien is ready to fight. Now!

“Inaction is no longer an option,” according to Feinstein.

If you survive fallout the real question then is will the nuclear winter kill you eventually anyway? Fallout might be preferable to slow starvation. You'll probably want about 25 years worth of food stored to have a decent shot of making it through.

The way some of those places are run I'm surprised they don't all just go up in flames all by themselves.

And some mineshafts plus a female/male ratio of ~10-1. We could quickly rebuild and there would only be a mild nostalgia about the old days.

Will the EBT cards work after a nuclear attack?
Starvation would be a slow painful death.

I'm, pretty safe in East Tennessee. Atlanta and Charlotte would be the most appealing targets closest to me. The prevailing wind would take the radiation cloud away. Hope Putin uses a neutron bomb so I can have my pick of the fancy cars and loot left by you inner city folks.

This was the standard reference when I was learning nuclear weapons targeting. The Effects of Nuclear Weapons Check out Chapter XII, but the bottom line is that there are too many variables involved to say with any certainty what your likely outcome is. One thing is fairly certain if you live in New Orleans, your chances of underground shelter are very low.

yeah probably.

People along bayou lafourche would probably be safe from the fall out and initial blast. But they would probably die in the nuclear winter after the blasts.

I guess it depends on what size bomb they use and how many they get thru our star wars defense system. Reagan hooked us up!! Believe that!!! I live about mid way between Barksdale and the Little Rock Air Force base. Not to mention Lockhead, aerojet, and general dynamics have plants in Camden. Don't figure it's a primary or secondary target. But if bombs are left for shits and giggles, I figure they get it too. Not to mention two refineries within a few miles of my house.
