Quoted: Looks like Eastern Nebraska and NE Nevada are the safest spots. https://www.askaprepper.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/USA-targets-nuclear-attacks-890x395_c.jpg View Quote Wonder how old that map is? I googled ICBM targets US... And got back a few different maps. All with different targets. Attached File |

I just looked this up earlier today. The North West is going to get rocked. NY and Florida are the big targets in the East.

They said that Gainesville Florida, home of the University Of Florida, would get a warhead if things went hot... Most assumed because of the population of people. It wasn't! It is because the airport in Gainesville, the run ways are large enough and long enough to handle military aircraft traffic. |

Utah? Maybe. Much higher potential for average home having preps/stored food, and willingness to share.
Idaho? Maybe. Much higher potential for average home having preps/stored food, and a willingness to take yours, too. |

Quoted: Where are the safest USA areas to be in the event of a nuclear war? Would it take us out or do we have a chance if in a strategic location? View Quote yeah central idaho is good |

I live near Detroit.
If the rooshuns nuke Detroit, I expect there will be hundreds of millions of dollars worth of improvements. |

Last time I looked, Idaho is the least targeted state. The only major military installation is Mountain Home AFB. The most heavily targeted city is Tucson I believe.
Doesn't matter where you are at, the nuclear winter will kill you eventually. I'd rather get the canned sunshine dropped on my head. |

Quoted: No, we are a top priority target, we make the hood latches for Humvees. View Quote And we have the Idaho National Labs, and we have (as pointed out above) the largest land locked Naval base (nuke related as well). Utah has that NSA facility, the biological and chemical weapons research center, and Mormons. Idaho, too, has a significant Mormon population as well. |

Idaho has several priority targets. The
And everything blown up into the air in CA, NV, and AZ ends up blowing here. We got tons of fallout from NV nuclear test sites back in the day. |

Quoted: I think this is the best place according to Cold War era fallout charts. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Standing on the beach with one toe in the water in Cali, Oregon, Washington I think this is the best place according to Cold War era fallout charts. Thinking southern OR coast would be pretty good. Lots of targets in the Puget Sound region. |

Hill AFB will be a target. They have ICBM squadrons there.
Maybe if you got high up in the mountains. I don’t think there are many safe places to be. Then there’s the fallout to contend with after the strike. A nuclear war is why I spent much of my childhood and teen year with a sort of low level fear during the Cold War. I haven’t had that feeling since the late 80’s and now all of the sudden it’s back. Putin is a major asshole. Remember, at his heart is is all about Communism and worships at the altar of Lenin. Same shit commies in this country want. That same ideology drives them to do horrific things. Scares the hell out of me. |

Utah manufacturers Minuteman III ICBM's, theyre on the nuke range card.

I always heard Hill Air Force base was on the first struck list because we service the minuteman missiles there. Don’t know if that’s true but I think outside of northern Utah it wouldn’t be bad. There’s tons of open land with hardly anyone living there.

If I were looking for a bomb shelter I’d probably buy one of These.
Or, last week someone posted a missile silo in KS that was up for sale. |

Nope, some of the worst actually.
I live in the UP of Michigan about 4.5 hours away from the closest target Green Bay. |
|
I doubt anyone in Virginia would have a chance. Maybe we get to live a few weeks with radiation poisoning, sounds lovely.
|

I'm in NoVA. I'm assuming we're good because whatever Star Wars/Alien Technological defenses we have, will probably be used here.

View Quote Good book and came to recommend Skousen. An Example of threat views including nuke spots FWIW he recommends Utah as #1, ID second. Obviously in the most strategic spots. Rawles is all about inter mountain west as well, but he has ID #1. I think Boston's Gun Bible had Idaho #1 as well. Too lazy to go pull out books |

the southeast corner of Oregon, the northwest corner of Nevada and the southwest corner of Idaho is one of the desolate places in the lower 48. There ain't hardly anything out there

Nothing but pasture and farmland for miles and miles. The very center of the US, far from oceans and borders. Even Russians agree that people living in Kansas have suffered enough. Gen. George A. Custer… “Men, I’ve got good news and bad news. The bad news is, we’re surrounded by Souix, and are all going to be massacred. The good news is, we don’t have to cross the Kansas Plains again!” |

Little to no fallout in west Texas. Not that you'd want to survive there though.
