Circle of Death Simulator

What is our current terror alert level, yellow? So something could happen anywhere, anytime, or maybe not. Won't someone please think of the children?! We'll someone did, the High Yield Detonation Effects Simulator (or HYDESim) will tell you (based on your location and size of the nuclear weapon) whether your children will be vaporized, serverely burned, or just slowly dying from fallout. It uses the google maps API and is pretty handy. You could actually use it to chart anything that propagates in a cirle like gossip, universal brotherhood, or ebola. Note: does not apply to things that are "sweeping the nation" since that would be a left-to-right horizontal gradient.
