Not much of a blessing.

Uhhh ... my guess would be a couple of nerdy engineers, actually. I think you're safe.

Excuse me? What guy? Me? Or the person or people who created NUKEMAP? I'm confused.

I hope you're not attributing "rapture / end of days" to me, as I'm a lifelong atheist and have never hinted at anything like that. If so, please explain where you got that idea from my post.

If you're attributing that to the NUKEMAP site, can you show me why you're saying that? I just use it for the estimate of the effects of nuclear detonations.

EDIT: oh okay, nevermind, I see you edited your post and were referring to the post I was originally responding to. Disregard.

Thank you.
Part of me wishes you had responded with a proclamation from Revelations along with a photo of your bus bunker that runs on liquified chicken poop.

Russia will be destroyed with 80 % death rate . United States will be almost wiped off the map on the coastal areas and some larger cities in the central part of the US. This will be the time unlike any other time on earth. Survival will be harder after the nuclear fall out and gamma rays infiltrate the globe.

Russia has a nuclear weapon called Satan 2 which can take out the area the size of Texas. 5 of them could take out the whole east coast. We have the power to destroy mightily. We have become a people that is self indulgent, lazy, and lovers of pleasures , not lovers of God.. The powers that be, have pushed God out of our schools, government and everyday life. When good is pushed out, evil takes it place.

You're confusing God with Christian Fundamentalism.

That of course does not include anything like fallout / radiation drift, just the crater, fireball, thermal radiation, ionizing radiation, overpressure rings, and incidental damage from collapsing structures. So ten million+ potentially immediately affected with one launch is certainly effective.
Roger that. Got it.

Aware that this is a little side-band but I've been fascinated by the Tianjin China explosion of 2015. If you don't know what it is take a look at some videos that have leaked out. The Chinese certainly don't want us to know about anything that smacks of negligence on their part. Suffice to say it is a horrendous explosion that left a huge crater. If you look at aerial photography you can see heaps of stacked shipping containers and cars flung around the lip of the crater. I nerded out and using the standard shipping container length of 40' I estimate the crater radius at about 80 m. They're claiming it was due to detonation of 8000 tons of ammonium nitrate. The slow nature of the explosion looks more like ammonium nitrate than nuclear so I'm not leaning that way at all. I do take exception to the Chinese stated explosive yield though. From Holsapple http://keith.aa.washington.edu/crate...ing/theory.pdf there is a logarithmic scale of lip-lip crater radius (ft) vs explosive yield in pounds of TNT charge weight. It's a nice linear graph that goes from a couple pounds of TNT up to full nuke 1E+10 (10 MT). At a crater radius of 2.4 E+2 ft you get an explosive yield of 1.5 E+7 lb TNT or 7.5KT. That's tactical nuke level energy release.

The Chinese say 8KT weight of ammonium nitrate but it's only got a .4 efficiency yield vs TNT so that's an energy release of ~3.2KT. The Chinese are tap dancing like crazy here. They suffered a horrendous tac-nuke level explosion in a major city.

Back to Nukemap - I correlated its accuracy vs my above calcs. I chose Houston as the target for geological similarity. Deltaic deposits of sand and clay and for a 7.5KT yield it returns a lip/lip radius of 80m. Sweet! Nice correlation between my calcs and Nukemap ... which speaks well for its accuracy AND for my theory that the Chinese are sandbagging like crazy.

Ecclesiastes mentions bunkers and chicken poop. It was very fatalistic so you might not want to fall back on that solution. Something about it not staving off the end thus eliciting his famous "There is nothing new under the sun" quote. This is not well known but I do know it.

I say just stand outside, face the fireball and embrace the horror.
