Found this LINK to what I think is the best blast radius map I've seen so far.  Only shows radii for blast and over pressure, not fallout, but it overlays the rings on a google map and you can input the lat and long of anyplace on earth.  much more usefull that the Federation of Scientists map and I havent seen this on ARFCOM yet.  I've used it to visualize out how far the property I'm looking at is from the closest large city.  Excellent tool.  Might be worth a pin.

Yikes!

I dropped in the Texas State Capital in Austin (30.275  97.7403) and seems I'd definitely get battered if the Big One Dropped!

Keep in mind this is for a ground burst. An airburst would be worse.

I am far enough away from atlanta that if they hit the ATL with a 20000 KT (20 meg) It still wouldnt hit me. The little red line is about a mile from my house....But then again thats close enought to do me in....But then again...again...Thats a big ass bomb, So I think I am good....But my plans to move another 20 or so miles west are still in effect. Now I gotta check brimingham, Looks good there too.


ETA: it surprises me to see how many people think that a nuke hitting atlanta would mean certain death to all of us, and they live further out than I do. I try to educate them but they are older than me so I dont know what I am talking about.

I think this covers a more realistic scenario, namely a terrorist truck bomb. It's pretty unlikely we'll have the Iranian or North Korean Air Forces bombing our cities.

I'm safe from a 99 Megaton bomb dropped on LA

0.25 psi = Most glass surfaces, such as windows, will shatter within this ring, some with enough force to cause injury.
