I found this to be amazing:
When see the flash, you're already getting burnt. |

Great. If Denver gets nuked, I'm dead up her in Fort Collins. Geez. |

No problem. I have my duct tape and plastic sheets ready to go.
Seriously, though, I would be much worried about a dirty bomb (radioactive conventional bomb) than a real nuke. The most likely threat is Islamic terrorists, and unless they get their hands on a functioning nuke that's designed to be set off by hand, they're unlikely to be able to make one. With the support of an unfriendly nation, it's possible, of course, but does anyone want to take bets on how long it would take before said nation was reduced to a big, glass parking lot? Dirty bombs, however, are damned easy to make if you get some good radioactive material. |

Bleh. Any sizeable nuke will eat my @$$ up almost instantly.
(I'm in NYC, ~7mi away from Downtown Manhattan. The only place more likely to get nuked than this one is DC). |

Terrorist devices won't be anywhere NEAR the 1 megaton range. Low kilotonnage at best. Hiroshima class bombs give or take. Certainly enough to screw up your year and effectively take out a city, but not enough to kill a whole county or region. I've got mountains in all directions BTW, not super high ones, but high enough to block direct gamma ray bombardment.
I hope neither I or my children live to see such a thing though. |
