Tsar bomba in 1961 was 58 megatons that was the biggest explossion ever and it forced United States to talks with Soviet Union on nuclear disarmnament. Back then United States claimed to have so many nukes that it could wipe out two and a half time larger Soviet Union 6 times over, Soviet Union at that could wipe out smaller United States only 4 times. Originally Tsar bomba was conceived as 100 megaton device, but scientists were afraid that such a large explossion would crack earth's crust. Now there is a 300 megaton nuke hot and ready. Creator of this device says I quote "I'm not sure against which continent this device will be used, but after it's over that continent will ceise to exist". I think 300 megatons is close to keenetic energy release of K-T impact 65 million years ago.
When you are going to get hit by a nuke you won't even know about it, ballistic missiles travel faster than the speed of sound. Let's say it's a regular nuke of regular, sane size. People that are outside will first be blinded by bright light several thousand times more intense than the sun. This light will either melt or burn everything in a radious of 10 kilometers. Then right after this bright flash will come shock wave, it will knock down buildings and everything else that is sticking above the ground. Movement of hot air creates an effect of fireball. People that got lucky and escaped deadly light and shock wave will see a horrific picture, everything around will burn in an inferno of fire, even the asphalt on roads will burn. If you live through this you will have to find cover from radioactive fall out.
If you ever get nuked it will most likely happen 6 p.m. when there is traffic and communications congestion. Government will most likely not turn on air raid sirens as to not create panic, evacuation of all people is not possible.
Most likely there is a computer controlled 'dead hand' system in place which can detect missile launch, confirm launch from several different sources, and give an automatic command on a response. Then what happens is in a bunker, at two different locations, two different security officers that don't even know each other, put in launch keys, turn them, and press a launch button. They do not know if it's a test or real deal. Massive nuclear attack is underway. President has nuclear suit case which can only be used to abort an attack.
The most likely place nukes can be used today are around Israel in the middle east, because Israel has monopoly in the region on nuclear weapons.
