Houston: The estimated death toll from the explosion would be over 204,000, while a further 407,000 people would be injured.

America’s fourth most populated city would see widespread devastation across many of its central districts. Third-degree burns would be inflicted from Denver Harbor to Memorial City and from Houston Zoo in the south to the Northside.

The Space Center Houston and the Johnson Space Center would both probably be safe from damage if the nuclear bomb were detonated near the city’s downtown.
