When wondering if Knight's Armament Corporation had survived the 1997 nuclear war, I looked up where in Florida had taken hits.
MacDill AFB took a 1 megaton hit.
Crystal River took nothing.
That's important, because in 1997 Crystal River had an 860 MW nuclear power plant.
St Lucie has a similar generation capacity and is outside the radius of both Atlantic coast hits.
Even Turkey Point should be safe.
Why is Florida as bad as the rest of the nation, where nukes did take out things like power plants?
The near to the Tampa Bay area 1,112 MW Anclote River Power Plant is unscathed. No supply of natural gas, but it's intact.
Florida didn't get hit as hard as the rest of the nation and I'm having a bit of trouble understanding why it's so bad off.
Or maybe it's just the Tampa area that's descended into savagery...
New America is insidious, and that, alone, could explain it.
Context, please? Is this a RPG, or a novel which you are referencing?
ReplyDeleteI write my blog like my readers have read the whole thing and can remember every word from the beginning. That will confuse the crap out of new readers! Sorry about that.
DeleteIf you check the bottom of any post I make there's a little label, in this case T2K. In the right sidebar there's a list of those labels that sends you to related posts. More often than not, that will get you into the context of my blathering if I neglected to restate it in the post you're starting from.
In this case it's referring to the 1984 role playing game, Twilight: 2000. Which I now realize that I've been playing, in various forms, for 41 years. Wow.
There's probably going to be more about T2K and Florida and New America vs MilGov and CivGov. I know, without context, that doesn't make any sense, and there might be a website that provides it before I get around to it. I will have to reread the game materials to remind myself of a lot of it, actually.
