Theres a really "fun" animation that Dr Wellerstein came up with, thats actually one of the toys I use when I am giving a class, its called nukemap3d there are earlier versions just called nukemap, which I reccomend everyone download and try out in their area so they can have a basic idea of what fallout patterns may be, as well as finding out what your standoff distances need to be to major cities in your particular AO to be able to survive a nuclear detonation.

I put the bomb at Knoxville, and made it a 10mt detonation, you can get a really good idea of fallout and height and width measurements of the mushroom cloud as well.

Gee thanks Stormy! I'm DRT. Cool site, It really opens your eyes as to how far away you need to be from a target to have any shot at being safe, in particular when you consider fallout.
Great site to play with, thanks for posting it.

yeah... the fallout thing really sux when you consider the prevailing winds!


luckily my closest city isn't a target big enough to require overkill. May have to bunker down for a few months, but should clear easy enough, as there would be nothing but fresh air coming in behind

Well, I was just using the provided scenario.
Really, while DC is 180 miles away, Langley AFB, which houses TAC (Tactical Air Command) HQ, is about 3/4 mile away.
Then, Yorktown Naval Weapons Station, which is where nukes are stored, is about 20-30 miles away.

I will be vaporized. I will feel nothing.

It will be over before I can say "Oh, sh..............................."

Pretty good here, nearest military base is about 4 hours or more. I am almost 3 hours from any major city. Austin is 4 hours west, Dallas is 3 hours north, and Houston is almost 3 hours south.

Thanks brother, looks like we're good thanks to the northeasterly winds and distances. I'll be passing this one on. Great find, this should spin my brothers around for awhile.
