Safest places to canoe in the USA after a nuclear war

[Glenn MacGrady]

The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency probably didn't have canoeing in mind when they produced this map that shows which places in the USA would be blown to bits, burned to ashes, or contaminated by radioactive fallout after a full-scale nuclear exchange. But it looks like the canoeing waters of Maine, Minnesota, and northern Wisconsin and Michigan will be pretty safe.

That is, if you prefer black flies to nuclear bombs. Could be a close call.

Do they have a map that shows Alaska?

UP of Michigan for me. I have several friends up there who should welcome me, I hope.

Or Canada?

Southwest Texas should one need to stay warm. I’m actually in a minor fallout area. If all my mango trees hadn’t succumbed to the recent spate of 26 degrees, I might even have something to eat stored up.
