A nuclear attack on US soil would most likely target one of six cities: New York, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Washington, DC.

But public-health experts say any of those cities would struggle to provide emergency services to the wounded.

The chance that a nuclear bomb would strike a US city is slim, but nuclear experts say it's not out of the question.

[Can one prepare?]

Not much, I’d think. Especially if you’re within a few miles under the detonation.

I tried to add “news” but that’s not the right keyword.

What’s wrong with Boston?

If I were nuking a city, Boston would be first on the list.

1) Beans

2) Rice

3) Move out of those liberal cities

(not necessarily in that order)

Maybe some stretching exercises prior to the blast?

Yahoo needed filler material while they cook up the next batch of propaganda against the President.

How does one sufficiently prepare for a nuclear attack? Hide in a refrigerator?

No problem. In the 50’s we had drills in school where you just got under the desk and you were safe.
