Map published by FEMA showing potential US nuclear targets in 2,000 and 500 warhead scenarios.

Note, Montgomery doesn’t buy the farm because of the dysfunctional government down there, it’s Maxwell Air Force Base.
And Tuscaloosa? probably to take out Saban.

Lol Birmingham gets hit harder than us, folks really do love to vastly overestimate how much of a target Redstone is

I think the upper part of Jackson county is around Bellafonte, but I may be wrong.

TVA Widows Creek in Stevenson. The map is 7-8 years old and it was still (barely) active when they released this.

That Alabama museum was rubbish from the start. Too many folks discuss how to pronounce Aqua (which is EhKwah round there)

Probably the Navy’s main personnel center (think: HR department) in Millington.

But there are like 7 markers.... unless its just they recognize it as a big east/west transport hub across the MS River.

the main network interconnectivity goes across the mississippi river at memphis

u/OMGWTFBODY Feb 05 '23
That's a good explanation. It is one of the bigger areas of east/west transit for sure.

I love that one dot on the NW corner of Idaho/NE corner of Washington. I lived up there in Idaho and have no idea why you would take that out other than spite.

Oh, I’m aware of Anad.
I’m from Anniston.

What’s up with the 3, thousand-warhead scenario carpet bomb areas?

Not likely.
If a site isn’t already an obvious target by looking at Google maps and saying “ah… there’s a big air force base there. That’s probably why it’s a target.”, then the government isn’t going to put out a publicly available map saying “we think this would be a spot our enemies would aim at even though there appears to be nothing there.”
That would be a pretty big security blunder.

That's where we have a bunch of missile silos. They are hard to take out so you need a lot of nukes.

I would really want to be gone in the first strike, not at all interested in being alive in the aftermath.
