FEMA possible nuclear target list Circa 1980
I’m pretty well and truly instant toast where I am now, but I could get to safety pretty easy.

I’m latent toast that just happens to be directly downwind from instant toast regardless of the scenario. Let’s see, toast is a 4 hour drive due west. Depending on winds and how high the blast cloud goes it would probably be about 4-8 hours before the radioactive snowflakes start falling on me.

All those black dots in ND, MT, CO, WY, and NB are in ground ICBM sites. So it just depends on which way the wind is blowing.

Instant toast in both scenarios. Luckily I can drive literally any direction and get away from it.

I grew up in a town which was on the “instant toast” (500 warhead radius) list back in the day, because of military/industrial significance, but now both of those companies are dust in the wind. So, I am gonna bet that an updated version of this map would look a bit different. It’s funny that, with all the discussion of other weapons, the specter of nuclear warfare seems further away.

At that time I would have been toast since the local AFB had a B52 squadron assigned to it complete with nukes. Now the same base has KC-130 tankers assigned instead so that probably has changed.

Yeah, San Diego. So many military bases that I’m surprised we’re not marked for worse.

I’d have been screwed. South of Richmond, right next to Fort Lee (the triangle just southeast of the city) and northeast of Fort Pickett, which is the black dot nearby. At least I could head a bit northwest and be sort of safe, unlike those poor souls in Hampton Roads.

Martha’s Vineyard. We’ll survive for a while depending on time of year. If it’s winter, we’re limited by food stores and oil reserves. In the summer we’ll last longer (local agriculture ftw) but the power station here can’t run the entire island for long and has to be supplemented by underwater power lines. If power stops coming through those things will slowly start to slide downhill. Generally though, as long as we escape fallout our isolation from the outside world will be an asset.

It's okay, all of those warheads would have launched to destroy the rest of the world ten times over

Instant toast! No hope of escape.
After September 11th, when I was still in Architecture school, I learned a couple of interesting things. The first thing I learned was that one of my friends/classmates was the daughter of the commander of the Pacific fleet. The second thing I learned (from her) was that the #7 ranked terrorist target in the nation, according to the DoD at the time, was in a building I could see out my apartment’s kitchen window.

Niagara Falls Dam and Air Force base have been on the target list for I don’t even know how many decades.
All my old brick schools (the high school is newer and doesn’t have them) still have Fallout shelter signs in and around the entrances. I wouldn’t be affected directly by the blast in Lockport, but my life would be very miserable very quickly.

Growing up in Tampa in the 1980s with MacDill AFB just miles away, we knew we’d go before Washington D.C. Once you figured out what CENTCOM was and that it was housed in our city, the Commie nuclear threat wasn’t so frightening. We’d be wiped off the map before anyone realized what happened. Life is good when there’s no need to worry about surviving in a post-apocalyptic nuclear winter.

Strange map for the 80s.
Blytheville AFB in Mississippi County, AR not listed. Nor is Loring AFB in Arrowstock County, ME. Both active SAC bases with nuke toting B-52s during the 80s. Actually, Loring was one of SAC’s largest bases and closer to the USSR than any other on the continental US.

truly fucked
what is quite funny was back in the 50's every town within a designated target area, had a duplicate town that residents were supposed to evacuate to. It was funny because
A) the odds of evacuating in time was slim
B) how would a small town of 10k people absorb a town of over 50k

I’m dependent upon the weapon yield. If the epicenter is KMGE (Dobbins ARB), I would survive the immediate impact of all but the multi megaton class bombs. Kiloton weapons, I’d be out of blast and pressure gradient radius, but still it wouldn’t be what one calls pleasant.

Denver, CO. If I get lucky and they only go for Cheyenne mountain, the USAF Academy, and Ft. Carson, I’m good. If they decide to take out DIA and Buckley AFB, I’m toast.

Probably latent toast. That black dot over Myrtle is probably the AFB that slick willy shut down circa ‘94. It is now a gentrified planned community full of new jersey retirees, thus equally deserving of annihilation. But the nuclear power plant 70 miles northeast is a solid target.
