My post was not meant to push the panic button .....

Just illustrating what is possible with even a small hydrogen bomb going off (E.g. A 1 megaton bomb = 8 x the power the 1945 Hiroshima atomic bomb). Those small, portable 'suitcase nukes' everybody is talking about might have about 30% of the power of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Sorry, Hiroshima was 13 kilotons.... .013% of 1 megaton. ( 13 thousand tons yield vs. 1000 thousand tons)
