(12,643 posts)the corridor between NYC and DC was referred to as Nuke Alley. Any and all places in-between were considered scorched and done.
Right now, I'm living outside the Philadelphia city limits. So, we're back in the 'alley' once more.
However, when we lived in TN these last 20 years, we lived within 8-10 miles of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a leading nuclear power and neutron research facility, another ripe target.
Either way, we're crispy critters. The only bright light in all this (no pun intended) is our family and friends all live in our current area.
So if it were to happen? We're in it together.
Weirdly enough, just today my husband said: If the bombs were to ever fly, I'd walk towards it. No way would I want to survive a nuclear apocalypse. For myself? I'd want to be with my kids and grand baby.
The red states, the Trump&Putinhumpers? They can own that grim future, have it all to themselves.
