But the overpressures would be sufficient to rattle or break most windows as far away as Pooler. <br /><br />The mushroom cloud would be high enough for almost everyone in the city of Savannah to see if (unless there was fog or a thunderstorm over the city at the time with low cast cloud cover). <br /><br />Everyone would know what happened. <br /><br />Incidentally the calculator can be scaled to the common SLBM of Russia (250 kt range). If Hunter or Ft. Stewart got nuked it's "theoretically" possible for most people in old town Savannah to survive the blast. Nukes are terrible but outside of the big Megaton monsters of the cold war, modern nukes' accuracy and lower yield do make them more survivable for those of us who don't live or work in an immediate target zone. <br /><br />If the Tybee monster goes boom we'll know it, but it won't obliterate the city.
