The gravity of this information has left many residents, particularly those in Rockford, Illinois, feeling uneasy as the list includes cities they have frequented, such as Chicago, Naperville, and Elgin.
The list, compiled by experts, ranks these cities based on various factors, with Washington D.C. securing the top spot, followed by New York City, San Francisco/Oakland, and Los Angeles. Surprisingly, Chicago is ranked fourth, raising eyebrows among residents who may not perceive it as an obvious target.

Furthermore, neighboring cities such as Naperville and Elgin, both within 40 miles of the Windy City, would also face severe consequences.
The report delves into the grim details, indicating that the region, encompassing over two million residents, is ranked fourth among the 15 cities for evacuations. Experts predict that a nuclear attack on this region could result in a staggering 626,170 deaths and over 1.1 million injuries.
