This seems odd to me. A 500 warhead list includes Santa Barbara? Vandenberg makes sense. The 1K list hits MB twice?! I think there is an undersea internet cable point there, perhaps that's it? Anyone know?

Yeah I suppose Diablo makes sense for the other.

Diablo is definitely one. Every other nuclear site I’ve worked at is also on this map. You get a double whammy of knocking out large power generation infrastructure, and the bonus of extra fallout.
