They never really explained the whole EMP thing in that show, did they?

Jericho doesn't exactly exist, but there are probably other places in Kansas that might be OK depending on where the fallout ends up.

Hah, glad you caught that. No, they didn't really explain it, but as the bad guys were coming for the last nuke (fake FEMA), best guess is that it was them. Really wish that series had stuck it out a few more seasons. I'm glad they did a season 2 (re: the fan's nut escapade), but it was rushed and just okay. It was a fun dive into living in a possible alternative reality, however. There was another show like it (Revolution), although Jericho felt way more realistic in terms of how they portrayed everything.

At least Morgan has found some peace with his TMNJ stick in TWD

yes, in Cheyenne, there are several icbm sites. I would be in the southwest part of the state. plenty of water down there in fontanel and flaming gorge reservoirs, plenty of cows, sheep, antelope to eat. Horses to catch and use and abandoned homesteads to live in. If it gets very bad, there are the trona mines and old coal mines to take shelter, also coal in surface outcropings for heat and I know enough about the oil wells to use them, lots of condensate you can put right into a gas tank in a pinch. also, a good area for the zombie apocalypse. I also have the necessary training to deal with non-trivial radiation.

never put any thought into it though.....

Well you have fun with that, me I'm like one of the previous posters. I want to be right under the nuke when it hits, fuck trying to live in post-apocalyptic wasteland.

If you're gonna hunker down, go to North Dakota and way up north. True, that's where a lot of missile silos are, but they won't bomb those. It will be your military bases and large cities. Go to Google and type in nuclear blast calculator and seee where the fall out will be. I'm in an area where there could be fall out.

But I digress. It would be very stupid for Russia to use nukes because we will too. So they're just as fucked and they know it. Might as well back down and get the fuck out of Syria. We will form a coalition and kick their ass out.

Russia will likely not use nukes, at least not large ones. They are, for all their Orthodox bluster, largely atheist and therefore (sorry, religious folks, I'm not even atheist myself but this needs saying) mostly rational. No, what terrifies me is the idea of Daesh with nukes. MAD works only on rational people who see some value in this life; but what do you do when your opponents see mutual annihilation as not only not a problem but a bonus?

My tired old tiny town is dying, falling into obscurity and doesn't see much activity, but it is right next to Fort Drum. So we'd probably be fucked.

looks like World War 3 is gonna start sooner than later.
not to be political, but where would the safest n dangerous place to be in USA?
my bet
safe= Florida
risky= anywhere on west coast just because it's close to russia, nKorea, and china. lol

Florida safe? The MIRV that lands on Mar-a-lago in Palm Beach is going to put that state under water and cause a massive radioactive shark and gator-nado with aforementioned creatures landing all the way out to Tennessee.

Indeed. The balance of power works only so long as no one is willing to make the first shot. Once the first shot is fired, all bets are off. It would not take that much of a stretch to see Kim or Putin doing something stupid to save face.

I would wonder if New Zealand would actually stay neutral during World War III. They might ally with the NATO countries and become a nuke target themselves.

I am sure there is some disgruntled Australian bureaucrat out there who as their dying act will push the button that he secretly queued up to target NZ and whisper with his last breath "Fucking Kiwi's.."
