A more apt comparison might be to take the map, soak it in petrol (if you can afford it) and set fire to it.
Try going to this site: http://www.nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap You can plot multiple GZs, use variable yields, historical or current weapons, or you can add your own. I did NYC with an SS-18 with 10x 550 KT warheads at the following GZs: one warhead each at JFK Airport, La Guardia Airport, Brooklyn Navy Yard, the WTC complex, Times Square, Staten Island, Teterboro Airport, Newark Liberty Airport, Perth Amboy (oil refinery), Linden (oil refinery). A follow-on strike via SLBMs, either via SS-N-18 or SS-N-20 is possible later on, but the city's still slag.
Sullivan County seems like it'd be safe enough (especially if Newburgh and Poughkeepsie are missed, which they might be, IMO).
At least Governor Cuomo is waking up.
Where is Hadleyburg? (It's fictional, I know, but where is it in Pennsylvania?)
Please don't have a certain assistant coach from Penn State in this story, GAB-1955 (you know who I mean).
Are you referring to the greatest college football coach of all time, the dirtbag who helped cover up a child molester, Joe Paterno?
Ok i understand JFK,Laguardia and the Navy Yard but what is so important in military terms about the former WTC?Sure its iconic and many firms had offices there but i don't see some clear military importance.Plus as far as i know the Navy Yard is close to Lower Manhattan a sizeable warhead detonating there would largely devastate Manhattan as well. I would imagine soviet strategy for a place like New York would be take out main threats airports and ports and what is left leave it to bombers. While we don't know what role bombers had probably they where left with the moping up whatever is left of relative importance nuke it.
So why don't you press the spacebar after periods and commas and use paragraphs? No really, I'm not trying to be a spelling or grammar Nazi here but my eyes hurt every time I try to read through your text.

I think WTC was the hq for Port Authority/Port Authority Police. I'm not sure how significant that could be...

Took the liberty of fixing that for you. Though in this timeline, those events haven't happened yet, one can hope that here he gets caught at the edge of a firestorm or something.
