        To clarify: this is where NUKEMAP *users* are. Not where they are nuking. Though people usually do nuke their hometowns first.

        Do you have analytics on if US users are doing more detonations at home in US or abroad?

        You have to use the new "Download to KMZ" option. Click "advanced options" in NUKEMAP, go to bottom. Requires Google Earth application.

        Oh, this is where people who used the map come from. That makes sense. I thought people were trying the nukes out in that area.

        So what you're saying is that no one in Wyoming or Maine is worried about getting nuked? Fascinating.

        Just when it seems most are nookymapping with Tinder these days. I haven’t tried Nukemap in some time.

        Now King Kim III talks about an atmospheric H-bomb test over Pacific. Can we start packing welding goggles and tanning lotion for Japan?
