Nuke It!

Take Google Maps application.

Combine with a list of nuclear weapons and the fallout zone.

This creates the Nuke It application.

That's a potentially disturbing application, yet quite interesting.

BTW... OH Crap!! one Tsar bomb would obliterate my whole state gah! (Colima)

And one asteroid would destroy whole North America... interesting

Not really. The thing is rather simple and amateur, no offence Murat, and has little validity for I know not of its source. The good thing about it is that you can set it to test an explosion anywhere, which its only advantage, unlike most other calculators. First of all, thermal damage is just a fraction of the worries. The blast wave and the blast flash are equally important dangers. Wind factor and height of the initial implosion has an unrivalled effect on the explosion, as does humidity/precipitation to a slightly smaller degree. FAS (Federation of American Scientists) website has quite a bit of very accurate/valid material on nuclear weapons, a must read for all "enthusiasts":

Here are some of the effects well explained on the FAS website. Here are various calculators.
