The Amount of Damage to Burlington, Vermont[]
I don't think that the damage to Burlington, Vermont would have been that severe. Plattsburgh is about 30 miles northwest of Burlington across Lake Champlain. Although if the nuke was close to the lake or if the blast was right on it, small tidal waves might hit Burlington and cause damage to the western part of the city, but with little to no radation. But out of all 50 states, Vermont was the only state not to be directly attacked by a nucular weapon. But still, after a possible small tidal wave, the city could be fixed up in no time at all. So, could the page be changed so that it says that Burlington suffered minor rather than major damage?

Would be a lot more than a "small" wave. Given the likely detonation site and blast size, most of Burlington would have been damaged by the aftereffects. Major damage, overall. If it helps, it's been fixed by the present time. Lordganon (talk) 12:19, October 10, 2013 (UTC)
I guess that makes sense Lordganon. But how many people were killed or injured when Burlington, Vermont was damaged by the tidal wave? Also, how long will it take for the radiation in Plattsburgh to die out so Vermont can rebuild the city? 24.147.1.197 15:59, November 27, 2013 (UTC)Jacob Chesley P.S Happy Thanksgiving!
Given that there would be fairly little warning, I would guess several thousand killed, no more than 15k hurt.
Decades longer.
