I've been trying to decode what FEMA thought the Soviet nuclear targets in Missouri were in 1990. Some progress.pic.twitter.com/WHqj9PljSa
@wellerstein This illustration is from FEMA-196, "Risks and Hazards: A State By State Guide," September 1990.

@wellerstein How do you think that would compare to, say, 1950? -
@mattfarish We didn't have missile fields and the Soviets didn't have ICBMs (or even bombers that could deliver to continental USA). -
@wellerstein Of course. But that didn't stop the NSRB/FCDA etc. from thinking about targets, both general and specific.

@wellerstein Huh, Fort Leonard Wood. I think if you'd ask a Soldier they'd ask "Why? If you're PCS'd there you're already dead."Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
