See what happens if a nuke/asteriod hits your city/town

[CptStern]

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a nuclear bomb goes off in your city?

Just enter the address of that boss, colleague or loved one. If you can find it in Google Maps, you can nuke it.

this is so much fun ..went thru a couple pf bombs to take out my city, chose asteriod and bye bye north america

 

[Raziaar]

If a 1.4 megaton bomb went off in the heart of Dallas, I would be outside the radius still, but not by much!

50 megaton Tsar Bomba encompasses my area, but not by a whole lot.

With an asteroid impact, I would be in the eye of the storm and thus safe! WOOHOO!

 

[Sheepo]

It makes the map change colors.

/dissapointment

 

[DEATHMASTER]

yea...

 

[Warped]

I guess I'm too close to my home city for most of these. Plus the fallout would hit my house pretty quickly. but who the hell would nuke buffalo?? no one would notice

Could improve it.

 

[nofreeman]

yeah my whole country would be gone if a asteroid hit

 

[Cpt Tenacious]

yeah my whole country would be gone if a asteroid hit

Try getting a not-awful country.

EDIT: So would mine.

 

[Warped]

Could improve it.

...because the radiation would give us an excuse to have bad looks?? people would feel more comfortable and then self esteem would skyrocket....i see

Lol.


No wait, not lol. This is terrible. D: The nagasaki bomb would be able to take out like 10% of my city.

Of course, thanks to the highly mountaneous terrain of adjacent areas, the explosion might not be as big.

i wish i had mountains to shield me from nukes!

 

[Musk]

Heh yeah I am so dead.

 

[Tagaziel]

The Fat Man and the Little Boy would take out about 10-20% of my city... would look awesome.

 

[MJ12]

It makes the map change colors.

/dissapointment

Totally this.

 

[Vegeta897]

What do you think nukes do to maps?

 

[15357]

What do you think nukes do to maps?

Vaporize them?

 

[Moto]

If the 50 megaton Tsar bomb hit Los Angeles dead-center, I would be out of the blast radius by about a mile. I'd probably die of radiation poisoning pretty quickly, though.

 

[Kula Meenur]

Yup i'm in the direct blast range. But i would have buggered off to the desert before that happened.


/crosses fingers

 

[Jintor]

It's a good thing I live so far away from school. Only the huge bomb and the asteroid would hit me.

 

[Bad^Hat]

The 50mt would blast from coast to coast where I live. D:

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Well if the Tsar Bomb hit the center of Preston, I would be atomised, but if a suitcase went off (assuming it was the same size as the LittleBoy), I would have a chance to prepare before the Fallout. But given the fallout followed a easterly wind with the jetstream, I would go South

I would be alright if the Tsar was set off over Liverpool or Manchenster

BTW, whats the colour coding

 

[G(ordon)-man]

If Little Boy hit the center of Polva, i'd be in the fallout zone. If a asteroid, bye-bye northern europe.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

The 50mt would blast from coast to coast where I live. D:

LOL, the whole island would be under water :thumbs:

 

[freakyflor]

It makes the map change colors.

/dissapointment

^This.


I can't blow up my shool without nuking my own house D:

 

[CyberPitz]

I'd die with whatever bomb hit me.

 

[Sulkdodds]

In the event of war I would be on the island of Arran. Safe even if a Tsar Bomb hit Glasgow.

 

[Unfocused]

Hehe, a 140kt bomb could hit the center of my city and I'd be out of range where I live. Yay, suburbs. I'd go downtown to take some good pics for you, hl2.net.

If Little Boy hit the center of Polva, i'd be in the fallout zone. If a asteroid, bye-bye northern europe.

Northern Europe?

An asteroid hitting anywhere in Europe would cover Europe with a bit of Africa and Asia.

 

[Dekstar]

If an asteroid hit Cardiff, the UK would be vapourised instantly.
Sounds good.

 

[Omnomnick]

*likes this website*

 

[15357]

The problem with this thing is that it can't account for terrain, either man-made or natural. Of course, its cool and all, but it prolly works only in Nevada.

 

[knut]

I wouldn't be able to tell if a bomb landed in the West Midlands. Yeah, I used that line before in a thread recently, but I'm deadly serious.

Pretty cool site, though.

 

[NeptuneUK]

This only tells us thermal damage, naturally as a physicist (or recent fallout 3 player) I am interested in the radiation levels too!

To quote Watchmen: (read trans version so might not be accurate) "It's just like old-age naval battles; everything depends on the winds."


Besides, it prolly matters with the bomb as well, ie salted hydrogen bombs.

 

[Acepilotf14]

In the event of nuclear war, they wouldn't just nuke one spot. They'd nuke LA or so multiple times in different locations.

 

[Naph]

Well this proved to be rather anticlimactic.

Probably, but you might get lucky and have the rest get intercepted in midair by Missile Defence.

 

[kirovman]

There used to be a site which would map the pressure damage and the fallout too. It's long gone though.
