Is that true about Ukiah, CA?
Im thinking about moving to the area, so Im just wondering..
They said its one of 9 places that people could survive a nuclear explosion, I think thats what they said.
Anybody know anything about it??
It's one of the 9 places that people can survive without any excitement whatsoever- or at least they'd better be able to.
In the 70's (the height of the cold war), being able to survive a nuclear explosion was BARELY enough reason for anyone to move to Ukiah- except maybe People's Temple. In 2007... you're retarded if you even consider that a reason to move anywhere.
Interesting..
Well, we were already concidering moving there, we found good work.
I was just wondering what made it so survivable? And actually, I think it would be pretty cool to say that about where I live. Since I live in a "first strike zone" now. So I guess you can call me retarded, as you so eloquently put.
I'll ask someone else..

You guys are hysterical. I guess it would be pretty cool to live in Ukiah during a nuclear war, but why would you ever want to?
shareWell, I was curious because I have weird fasination with "the end of the world".
I guess you could say Im a Dooms Day Enthusiast. So I just wanted to know why Ukiah? What makes it so survivable?
But its not the first place I'd go to survive, too close to the coast.

During the cold war, there were various places listed as being "nuclear war survival locations".
Generally this was due to a combination of factors -- distance from a likely target, likely fallout patterns extrapolated from weather & geography, and local resources residents could turn to for survival (agriculture, water, energy).
I only remember some part of Oregon being mentioned, probably around Medford, which has a similar surrounded-by-mountains geography and generally gets open Pacific weather.
I think that most of these were just estimates, and it depended on how much weight people put on individual factors and how many factors they came up with. Chances are 5 year survival after a general nuclear exchange would be pretty low no matter where one was.
Thats pretty much what I assumed. I think its an interesting fact about the place, at the very least. Thanks for the response.
