Nuke it! Google Map

This mapplet shows the thermal damage caused by a nuclear explosion.

Search for a place, pick a suitable weapon and press “Nuke It!”

Pretty cool that you can choose the type of bomb. Asteroid impact is by far the worst!

The concentric circles of different colors mean different physical effects. The center of the circle is conflagration, where most people would die within 24 hours. The purple circle means 3rd degree burns, requiring medical care. The pink circle means 2nd degree burns, like burns from boiling water. And the yellow outermost circle means 1st degree burns, like a sunburn.

Ouch.
