I think there's an argument to be made that there would be no good place to be if a nuclear war were to happen. That being said, there's a recent report that claims Missouri might be an especially unpleasant place to exist during an end of days conflict as the plan was for it to be a 'sacrifice state'.
Did you know there are some who claim government officials have confided the public may not be warned in the event of an incoming nuclear attack? There are 5 signs you can look for that will alert you that an attack may be in the process of happening or imminent though.
It's a chilling scenario that seems like it should be unreal, but an author with inside information paints a dire picture of what would happen to Illinois if war were to begin. She says Illinois would be gone in much less than 2 hours and that's a conservative estimate.
Perhaps it's a good thing I don't read many books anymore because a new one has laid out a chilling scenario that plays out extraordinarily fast. If war breaks out, Missouri would likely be gone withing the first 72 minutes.
