Honestly Vermont is a stupid safe place to hide from a nuclear war.

Unless you're in Burlington :)

We are actually a really big target. Tons of early warning bases, chip manufacturers, MIC manufacturers and silos. Im a nuclear war our entire state would probably be vaporized which is why I made that comment

I think the targets are all around the Lake Champlain area, including the bases, chips, and silos.

KI4U has an old FEMA map that shows only Burlington and Montpelier as a potential target, and there's another nuclear target map floating around on reddit somewhere where only Burlington is a major target.

Do you know of any more recent maps that might have better info?

Essex junction is an obvious target.

Yeah, with Ethan Allen and all that.

It's still in the Lake Champlain area though, I'm more curious about the areas away from Lake Champlain

I mean, Rutland still has GE right? There are all sorts of boutique fabricators across the state.
