This website is creepy AF: Nukemap

[Best_man23]

Saw this on CBS News this morning, its a website that forecasts the impact zone and potential casualties in a nuclear strike. This tool is produced by the Stephens Institute of Technology.

It just inconceivable to me that we're even having to contemplate this happening.

1. It's interesting

I've used that website before...I live outside of D.C. and was interested in the effects of a nuclear attack in my area!

3. We've been contemplating it since 1945

I remember I found a book in the Westport Library in the mid-90s, in the non-fiction section. It was a book about nuclear war done up as a children's book. I forget nearly all of it, but there was a drawing of a farm community with the question "which of these grain silos are really hidden missile silos?" (All of them!). And one where kids were passing around a literal hot potato... It was radioactive.

4. I remember my 6th Grade teacher showing us a similar map of if a nuke went off in our city...

and that was in the 1980's.

7. I'm downwind of NYC and near a bunch of defense industries

If there's a full exchange, I'm not living long. Assuming I'm not incinerated or killed by the pressure wave, I'll probably be eating a gun before the radiation poisoning kills me.

5. I think we are closer than ever to nuclear war and nothing has been said

about what we can do to prepare. If it started today we are totally unprepared. If
Putin pushed the button there is nowhere I could go but the basement and I don't have
any food or water supplies. Maybe these doomsday prepers aren't so crazy after all.

6. March 7th, the Doomsday Clock stays at 100 seconds.

I think it needs to be updated.
