Talk:Central Texas (1983: Doomsday)

Killeen appears to be too close to Ft. Hood to be a viable survivor town. A low-yield (20 kt or so - A bomb size) over Ft. Hood would leave Killeen reeling at least from shock waves. Anything larger would destroy much of the town with pressure, if not by thermal assault. In order to get Hood Air Field as well, any nuke would have to take out most of Killeen as well.

Bottom line, if Killeen survives, it will probably be as refugees seeking shelter and medical care in Cameron or Gatesville.

Meanwhile, Kerrville andm San Marcos - 70 miles apart - have to dodge bombed out Austin to get to Cameron and Gatesville, each over 120 miles away. I can see where these four cities could eventually get together, probably with villages and towns centrally located west of Austin (such as Granite Shoals). SouthWriter 03:17, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
