A nuclear attack on US soil would most likely target one of six cities: New York, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Washington, DC.
But public-health experts say any of those cities would struggle to provide emergency services to the wounded.
The cities also no longer have designated fallout shelters to protect people from radiation.

Keep it classy, FReepers. Don't say those are mostly-liberal cities. Because...
Can one prepare?
Can’t say I’d miss 5 out of 6 of those....
And exactly how do you prepare?
“Keep it classy, FReepers. Don’t say those are mostly-liberal cities. Because......”
Drat, then I cannot say, “The problem is?”
All 6 at the same time, they would be doing us a favor.
[Can one prepare?]
Not much, I’d think. Especially if you’re within a few miles under the detonation.
I tried to add “news” but that’s not the right keyword.
What’s wrong with Boston?
If I were nuking a city, Boston would be first on the list.
[ And exactly how do you prepare? ]
1) Beans
2) Rice
3) Move out of those liberal cities
(not necessarily in that order)
I vote for D.C.
If they hit Detroit, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.
LOL
“Can one prepare?”
Maybe some stretching exercises prior to the blast?
That’s true
By the looks of it, San Francisco has already been nuked.
Whaddya mean they’re not prepared?
Don’t they all have Democrats running them?
San Francisco is already in the shirt, anyway.
The way I feel today, I SAY freakin NUKE ‘EM!!! Direct one up Milano’s ass!! I hate that bitch!!
[ This is supposed to be something new? ]
Yahoo needed filler material while they cook up the next batch of propaganda against the President.
How does one sufficiently prepare for a nuclear attack? Hide in a refrigerator?
No problem. In the 50’s we had drills in school where you just got under the desk and you were safe.
