First of all, I don't have any information whatsover that a war is imminent. As far as I really know, the situation could be about the same as it was near the end of last month, when Putin first put his nuclear forces on high alert. I just think that an app like this can help us think about the near future.
At this time, at the DEFCON Warning System, the alert level is still at Level 3.

At the top of this post is a screen capture of a page from the app Nukemap.
Using a set of inputs, it simulates the effects of one or more detonations in a city, town, or other area.
The inputs requested include:
- name of the city
- the blast yield in kilotons/megatons
- whether the explosion will be an air burst or a surface burst
- whether or not you want to see a visual depiction of local blast and fallout effects
Advanced options are available, and multiple detonations over a given urban area can be selected as well.
