 Where in the US do you want to be during a nuclear apocalypse? While you obviously want to avoid these cities, go ahead and add these places to the list too. Why? They're connected to our own nuclear infrastructure. Also, don't forget you don't want to live near a nuclear power plant. Also also, I hope you still remember your state capitals, because they're likely targets too according to FEMA. With one exception, Bismarck, North Dakota, you go Bismarck. So, where do you want to be? Eastern Oregon and Western Kansas are amongst the safer bets, and maybe even Western Texas if you're in a pinch.
