Primary targets will be:
Minuteman missile silos in the plain states
WSAs at the two Trident bases
WSA at Albuquerque
NNSA facilities at LLNL, Oakridge, TN, Sandina Labs, Los Alamos Labs, KCMO nuke facility at former Richards Gebauer AFB
All active B1/B2/B52 bases (Whiteman, Barkdsale, Dyess, etc)
All former B1/B2/B52 bases (Grand Forks, Ellsworth, McConnel, etc)....
Military airfields with 7000 ft runways
Tinker AFB and associated refueling air bases (Most covered under the 7000 ft rule above)
National Command and Control Facilities: White House, Capitol, Pentagon, Site R, Raven Rock Mtn, Peterson AFB, Cheyenne Mtn complex, Mt Weather, etc)
After that, if the war escalates, they would hit major rail junctions, POL facilities (13 refineries), the 25 super heavy bridges rail/road across the Mississippi, ports, military stores such as Hawthorne Ammo depot and Davis Monathan air restoration facilities, Strategic POL reserves, Financial capital, AT&T building in Dallas and Denver (major commo hubs), etc.
They won't get down to nuking "your city" unless you live in one of the above type targets.
When you see the silos either emptied or hit + the 2 SSBN bases + the WSA area....then you know its ON.
...bomber bases would be hit next and quick.......and then a stall before someone's next move.
FWIW....I'm not to scared and I live next to a 3rd tier target, LRAFB, which is a C-130 base, but has a 7000 ft runway.
Next to be targeted here in Central AR are the Union Pacific rail depot in North Little Rock.....but lots of other nukes will have gone off and give me a heads up to bug out.
Actually, I'm a helluva lot more worried about our soaring crime rate, violence against republicans/Christians/whites, and the next Ice Storm or tornado than I am of a limited or general nuclear war.
“Use Nuke Blast and calculate a 350-400kt nuke where ever you live from NukeMap 3d”
Very cool site, thanks. Interesting to compare the effects of a terrorist nuke at ground level to a much larger ICBM nuke in airblast. Radiation spreads much farther in the former. One thing that they could add is wind direction and speed which would be a factor I’m sure.

What you need to worry about is anything that leads to a loss of electricity.
No electricity, no gasoline. No gas no food. No refrigeration, spoiled food.
NO ELECTRICITY NO WATER.
If it happens from government breakdown, war or crime loss of electricity will mean society failure and mass death in a few days.
After a few days those that survive will be looking to cannibalize anything they can to survive, the survival of the fittest. Political correctness will fly away. Be strong or die.
What does the acronym WSA stand for? Good post.
