I'm surprised that this would not be a target

It's official! My intelligence sources (the Daily Star Online) have confirmed that San Diego is a target, as well as Austin, Texas, Washington DC and some other places.

Damn, and Tiki Oasis is a blast, too. (Second year for me.) San Diego is very lovely. Lovely, soft quality to the light. What a shame.

Your fear reminds me of the fears my generation had growing up in the 50's. You can't hide from death even if you are kneeling under your desk with your hands over your bowed head. All you can do is pray and kiss your arse goodbye.
Duck and cover! The thoughts we have as parents, eh?
Remember "When the Wind Blows"? Made me depressed as a child. Actually, clinical depression. I knew more about SS20s and their deployment than a kid show know at 13. Incessantly followed the news... Wanted to move to Australia.

Remember "The Day After", and "Threads"?

Monterey would be one of the top targets on the West Coast, and as far as I can see, no one here really gives a shit.

You are really going to cancel this trip on a long shot occurrence? If it comes down to it being a reality, what do you think your chances of survival are in whatever area you are currently living in? Since there are so many crazy drivers out there, perhaps you should not drive as there is always a better than average chance you could be involved in an accident that could maim or kill you.

South Koreans love holidaying in Guam (no, really) - along with Jeju Island it holds a place in their psyche like Hawaii does in the American mindset. Korean Air used to fly packed 747s from Seoul to Guam daily.

None of the 27 year olds writing about the crisis in US media outlets have bothered digging deeper into why Kim Jong Un chose to make Guam the flashpoint, but certainly that was a part of the psy-ops battle and aimed at the South Koreans and not the Americans. Mighty Kim Jong Un is going to crush your holiday paradise under his iron fist.

Concur with the others, go to San Diego. If Kim is serious he won't "launch" anything because that can be detected immediately and blame traced right back to him in a nanosecond. If serious - he will do something asymmetrically and try to hide the fingerprints.

Given performance on recent tests, preferred targets are probably the safest places to be.
