Tomorrow, Thursday August 8, 2015, marks the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, which led to the surrender of Imperial Japan and ended World War II. In response, the Washington Post published this article titled "What it would look like if the Hiroshima bomb hit your city": http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ook-like-if-the-hiroshima-bomb-hit-your-city/ The anniversary is even more relevant in light of the Iran nuclear deal clearing Tehran's path to a nuclear weapon and the development of ICBMs, which will also lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. Contained within the WaPo article is a link to NukeMap, which enables users to envision the effects of nuclear detonation on any given city, including their own. Users are provided a variety of bomb sizes from Little Boy, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, to the largest bombs that have been tested, designed and stocked in nuclear arsenals today.

*shrug* Interesting, now I know how big the boom would be if Russia launched an SS-25 at San Francisco. However, trying to use this in a city that has some actual terrain (like Boise, Idaho) is largely a fail. http://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/?...8&hob_opt=1&hob_psi=5&hob_ft=9511&ff=50&zm=11
