I guess we'd lose the power grid for this section, alot of it anyway. Not much danger of fallout, since most of the radiation would go out to sea. Right? Alot of people will survive this. How will we get in to help them? I know NEST and FEMA have folks all over the place up there. I know we have rapid mobilization units on standby. Maybe we have enough assets in place, already, and more nearby. If we act fast, we can save alot of people.

FEMA has already built cities for us to be moved to. I'm one of the NY area people that will be moved if I'm not killed from the attack.

NYC area is an officially announced target. If and when an attack occurs, we will be in lock down. That means no public movement on streets. We can't leave the border. This will assist in maintaining control. If evacuation is necessary, places have been built for us.

Personally, I would like forewarning. I prefer to move to the sticks and fend for myself (including family). Realistically, I'm scared to death; but refuse to let the terrorists get the best of me. I lived through 9/11. Family, friends, and business partners didn't. But if I cave now, then they died for nothing.

That really depends upon which way the wind is blowing. Approximately 17 million people live within a 60 mile radius of NYC. If the wind blows from the W, then the 2.5 million people who live on Long Island are directly in the path; winds from the SW, then watch out in western Long Island, the Bronx, Eastern Westchester County, and the entire I-95 corridor up to Boston; winds from the NE or East, then the fallout heads to New Jersey -- the most densily populated state in the Country, and Pennsylvania; NW winds and the plume covers Brooklyn and western Long Island; S winds take the plume right up the Hudson River Valley where 1.3 million people live; and SE winds drive the plum over northern New Jersey, NE Pennsylvania, and SW New York. Only winds directly from the N would take the plume out to sea and that doesn't happen very often.
