What would you do if nuclear bombs went off in the Major Cities of the U.S

[Zeus]

What would you do? What if a group of people on the inside of the government or not, maybe just terrorists blew H-Bombs in most of the major cities?

By the major cities I'm reffering to Boston, San Diego, Chicago, New York, St. Louis, Cincinatti, Philadelphia, Washington D.C, Atlanta, Seattle most of the big cities. I say San Diego and not Las Vegas or San Fransisco because if a nuclear bomb hit San Diego I doub't anyone from San Fransisco nor Las Vesas would survive, its too close.

First of all, just so you know.. The power would be out soon because your power comes from a main city most of the time thats where it is controlled. The internet probably wouldn't work long after the bombs went off, the phone lines would also be down. Your completely cut off from the world no contact outside exept maybe HAM Radio.

Nuclear Effects Generator

To give you an idea of what would happen visit THIS site. Select a city in the application, drag the gray box to make the Weapon Yield 25 KT and keep delivery method on automobile. Thats how much damage it would do. Red circle would be the part of the city that would be completely gone, blue would be the kill radius and orange would be the shock wave / blast wave distance. That is just the explosion. Then you have fallout that would drop down quickly after and would make much greater distances and literally cook anything that got too irradiated from the inside out.

Also play around with the tool a little bit, if a 2 megaton bomb hit the entire city would be gone.

Pittsburgh isn't included. Its as of 2008 I think #59 on the biggest city population density in the U.S. Its more than 100 miles from any of the others but it has several surrounding it including Cincinattin, Washington D.C, and Philadelphia but it would stand most likely. It would take long for debris to get there, at about 100 miles it takes 4 - 6 hours for nuclear debris and particles to reach there. But you would still need to take shelter, tape up your windows with duct tape and plastic + be in a basement or fallout shelter until the debris stopped falling.

hell I live far away from major cities, it won't really effect me, however I'm sure the press would be all over it

Far away is?

Even far away meaning past 200 miles it is still dangerous, fallout can reach great distances it would just take longer. It would effect you a lot more than you think. You wouldn't be getting food from anywhere but the city you live in, once thats gone its GONE and every single city would be like that. The sick wouldn't be getting medical care and if they were it would be limited to your hospitals resources and they would be running off of a generator most of the time. Water pumps would not work. Including your sink, bath tub, fire hydrants. Gas Pumps would not work you are using the gas you have and the gas people share with you to manage. You would have to worry about kids, food, water, shelter, school, information, and keeping everyone sane.

Lol. Yeah but it might effect you. Denver might be the closest to your area so it wouldn't have much effect on you might get its a bits of fallout which could be dangerous because of the radiation.
