Tabarnak!
I encountered this website on Bldgblog. Its a Sydney based creation lol. Simply put, it gives you a Google map, you select a location, then have a choice of various kiloton or megaton yield nuclear weapons with which to 'Nuke It'. Upon selecting and 'Nuking', you get projected blast radius over the Google map. The 'bombs' you can 'nuke it' with range those from used on Hiroshima/Nagasaki to the Soviet built 'Tsar Bomba', the largest nuclear detonation in history. All 50 megatons worth.
Placed over Edinburgh, it wipes out the entire city and devastates to Glasgow and Stirling.
Placed over Manchester, it destroys the entire city, and nearly takes Liverpool with it.
Placed over Toronto, Lake Ontario gets vapourised but so does most of everything to the outer limits of the Greater Toronto Area. Goodbye Oakville and Oshawa...
Place it over London, n about half the city is gone with most of Essex, Middlesex and Sussex devastated as well.
Being such a large city, place it over Sydney and its full blast radius doesnt quite reach my parents house in Kurrajong (Thank Christ), with Parramatta, Hornsby and Kurnell being the extent of suburbs that get... crisped.
Thankfully, modern nukes seem to be around the 140 kiloton range... so yer ok then if you live in Bronte, Gladesville or Chatswood.
Hmmm, it seems that Tsar Bomba would wipe Trinidad off the map...

On Cheerier notes, i still have a job and it looks to be continuing, im off to Birmingham this weekend to do drains and heres another video, of myself, Nel58 and Controleman down Last Bastion, aka the pre-Bazalgette, 1843 built, London Bridge Sewer. Good stuff! Of note, the large steel 'disc' thats got water scooshing out around its edges is the secondary outfall flap. The water is the tidal Thames trying to get in and drown us.
Its -3 outside, but then again theres an in-house standoff as to whose gunna buy more gas so i might as well go and get myself a packet of crisps before bed as its about -2 indoors.
