If the unthinkable happened, these 4 US states would be safest, new map suggests

A simulation map exploring the possible impact of a nuclear strike on the United States suggests some areas could experience less immediate destruction than others. Data modeled via NUKEMAP indicates that regions of Western Texas, Nevada, Michigan, and Wisconsin may avoid the heaviest blast and fallout zones in specific scenarios. However, experts caution that nuclear winter and long-term radiation effects could still render some areas uninhabitable.
