Put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye
As a kid, I read a book about Nuclear War. The USA was bombed and Texas
was a major target. There are lots of military bases located in a grid around
my part of TX and surrounding states. So Dallas was pretty much wiped off
the face of the Earth.
I grew up with the Cold War so we had bomb shelters and lots of scary movies
about it. I watched the films at school where they told you to get under your desk
in case of an attack. How innocent were we?

What happens to your city?
Heat Blast (within city boundaries.)
The heat blast from the explosion is very powerful; up close, it can cause 3rd degree burns and even death.
As the heat travels from the center of the explosion, it gets weaker. The heat can affect people many miles from the explosion.
Burn Level Percent
City Description
First Degree 21.91%
* High rate (80%) of first degree burns for those outside. Symptoms include:
o Pain
o Redness
* Almost no fatalities from burns
* Eye damage or blindness possible if looking in direction of blast
Second Degree 16.44%
* High rate (80%) of second degree burns for those outside. Symptoms include:
o Persistent pain
o Blisters
o Swelling
o Scarring
o Nerve damage
o Possibility of infection
* Flash burns to eyes possible if looking in direction of blast
* Some fatalities from burns
* Eye damage or blindness possible if looking in direction of blast
* Newspapers, leaves, rotting wood ignite
Third Degree 1.40%
* High rate (80%) of third degree burns for those outside. Symptoms include:
o Damage to underlying muscle and bone
o Possible charring
o Severe scarring
o Severe nerve damage
o Probable infection
o Shock
* Medium to high rate of fatalities from burns
* Eye damage or blindness possible if looking in direction of blast
* Wooden buildings smolder or ignite
* Clothing may ignite or melt

shockwave map
Shockwave (within city boundaries.)
The shock wave is most damaging at the site of the explosion. It acts like a very strong, very fast wind. Close to the explosion, it can topple skyscrapers and overturn vehicles. People are injured or killed when buildings collapse. The effect gets weaker the farther the shock wave travels from the center of the blast. The shock wave can be felt many miles from the explosion.
Shockwave Pressure Percent
City Description
1 PSI 75.48%
* Windows shatter
* Some trees knocked down
* Roof damage to many buildings
* Injuries mainly from flying glass or small objects
Total 75.48%
fallout map
Fallout (within city boundaries.)
The explosion sucks up bits of the ground around the bomb, carries them high into the air, blasts them into tiny particles and irradiates them. These particles can be carried hundreds, or even thousands of miles, as they slowly drift down to earth in a a "fallout cloud." Where the cloud passes and lands, it showers radioactivity. Exposure to uncontrolled radioactivity can be harmful to living organisms. Because winds are very unpredictable, the fallout information shown here is based upon the average winds. Small changes in the wind can cause large changes in the results.
