New York City: The estimated death toll from the explosion would be over 1.1 million, while a further 2.1 million would be injured.
The city’s total injury count would also be severe: If detonated over the middle of Manhattan in NYC, it would effectively evaporate SoHo and its surrounding neighborhoods, with a central blast radius that would level most buildings up to the southern end of Central Park and the riverside areas of Hoboken and Brooklyn.
Chinatown and the vicinity of Washington Square Park would be exposed to radiation. Certain areas of the Financial District would also see thermal radiation. People living in the center of the city would suffer third-degree burns.
A lighter blast radius, which still has the potential to cause widespread injuries and damage to buildings, would extend over Harlem, part of Queens, and also Newark, Jersey, in the west.

A nuclear strike at any one of these cities would be devastating . The response would be nearly instantaneous and endure the triggering of M.A.D.D. , Mutually Assured Destruction Defense , or basically the end of civilization as we know it . Sadly , we are now led by a mentally difficult President and his equally deficient party of yes men and a vice president whose idea of deplomacy is word salad and double speaking . Both of who talk tough and are as likely to provoke such an attack than to respond to it as they hunker down secure in their bunker to await the all clear and make up lies and excuses for why these events occured .and were allowed to occur .
What about “Military City USA”…San Antonio?! Home to Lackland AFB…where all Airforce personnel go to basic training and home to SAC (Strategic Air Command).
I pray that the church will be taken before that great tribulation of bombs. and I believe that is what the bible teaches us.
