Nuclear Attack: Colorado Sits Right In The Crosshairs Of Potential Targets

We're not putting this out there for any fear-mongering purposes; this is simply a heads up and something that I had no idea about until I did a little digging, and it's merely factual information to know and be aware of in the unlikely event of a nuclear attack.

In fact, 24/7 Wall Street has come up with some of the most dangerous areas to be if a nuclear attack happened, and two of those places happen to be close to us in Northern Colorado.

As for our region, Cheyenne, Wyoming, came in as the 14th worst place to be for a nuclear attack because of its proximity to F.E. Warren AFB. While Peterson AFB down in Colorado Springs came in 12th, and then a little further south, Albuquerque, New Mexico, came in 11th because of its proximity to Kirtland AFB.
