Let's say there is some doomsday scenario and we can only save 5 cities in the U.S. from total annihilation. Not taking into consideration the population of the cities, which 5 cities would you choose to go on?

Naturally, New York was my first pick b/c it's basically America's flagship city (plus it gets destroyed too often in movies). Next I picked Chicago b/c it just felt right. Then I thought, "hey, i can't let my favorite city get destroyed twice in three years", so I picked New Orleans after that. Next I picked Miami b/c idk i just felt like it. Then I felt bad because the west had no cities left so i picked my favorite western city, Seattle.

Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, New York and Augusta, Georgia.

Don't know what I'd do without these places.
