The Post-Apocalyptic Roadmap/Arizona

Part of the Post-Apocalyptic Roadmap Project.

Tucson

Arizona would be slightly more a wasteland. Tucson would most likely be a charred crater, as the Davis Monthan AFB houses the largest collection of mothballed planes in the country. There are hundreds of A10s less than an hour from flyable there. Only people left alive in southern Arizona would be small towns in the mountains. (ie Safford, Mt Lemon) The sprawling Phoenix would most likely be the main target, however, specifically the Palo Verde nuclear power plant and Luke AFB, both of which are to the west of the main metro area. Given the size of the Phoenix area, that means the East Valley around Fountain Hills will be safest, and conveniently that's where the rich people are.
