We already know living in North Dakota, that if nuclear war breaks out that we are pretty much screwed.

With two strategic air force bases in the state and our own nuclear stockpile, North Dakota will be one of the three hardest-hit areas in our country.

According to our friends and fellow Townsquare Media Station KEYZ AM 660, North Dakota is home to the biggest cache of nuclear weapons in the United States Air Force, with an estimated 1200 weapons. Of these, 800 are ready for deployment aboard stationed B-52 bombers in Minot, and 400 are warheads for Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles.

I seriously doubt many people at all would survive a nuclear attack on our country with the exception of those living in fallout shelters.

Even with that being said, FEMA says there are parts of the country that would give you a better chance than others.

Here's a map from FEMA showing where North Dakotans should flee to if nuclear war does breakout.

The closest places North Dakota should flock to if the bombs start flying are northeast Nebraska, the banks of the Mississippi River in Minnesota, and Wyoming.

This is all relative because if nuclear missiles were actually launched at the United States from Russia we would have somewhere between 15 to 30 minutes before impact. This is according to the Union of Concerned Scientists.

That means unless you could jump on a plane to one of these safe havens, you will not make it, even driving 120 miles per hour.

Yep, the "end of the world scenario" is not a good one for those living in North Dakota. My question is, "Do you really want to be around afterward anyway?"

Every state has a stock of vintage housing. Rocket Homes examined Census Bureau data to find which county has the most prewar homes in every state.
