[feelin_kinda_saucey]

anyone have any idea as to what the square mileage or acreage of destruction the nuke they have would do if it were to actually hit the west coast ?

Depends on the nuke's size and city preparedness.

If it is large enough , MILLIONS will die. Anyway, its shockwave will reduce skyscrapers to dust.

Also califonia is not the most stable geographic place on earth. What we do not need is a large explosion there.

Even if the bomb does not cause much death's initially, consider the radiation affect on people. After Hiroshima/Nagasaki people were dying there even well after the event.

This raises an interesting point. Is it possible for nukes to disrupt the San Andreas fault?
