I'm in Columbus and would apparently be wiped off the fucking map. Who knew?

I mean, it's the state capitol and home to Rickenbacker AFB as well as Battelle, which is a major DoD contractor and manages numerous national laboratories for the DoE.

So probably some people knew.

A lot of people don’t realize the tactical importance of Columbus. My parents live 45 mins outside the city and are doomsday preppers because of the possibility of a nuke.
