Brief History
The city of Riverside and its surrounding communites were not struck by nuclear devices on December 21st, but the outer communities did recieve refugees from the strikes on Los Angeles, Santa Anta, and San Diego. Winds from the southeast blew the fallout over the Pacific Ocean, which allowed for the surviving city governments to deal with more important problems facing their cities, such as food, medical supplies, and gasoline. Storms that were located off the coast of California slowly drifted into the bombed remains of Los Angeles, San Diego, and Santa Ana. These series of storms pushed any lingering fallout over the Pacific and doused the remaining fires in bombed areas.
