If Atlanta were unfortunate enough to be targeted by a nuclear bomb — or maybe got caught in the way of an asteroid — the results, as you can imagine, wouldn’t be pretty.

And the kind souls at CarlosLabs used the power of Google Maps to create a tool that lets you know just how far away you better be if you absolutely must navigate your way out of a mushroom cloud hellhole.

Visit the tool to see how many of history’s most famous atomic weapons would impact your friends and neighbors in Atlanta, or anywhere else around the world. Some screenshots of how the metro region would fare after a nuclear bomb and an asteroid’s impact are after the jump.

This here’s the “DF31″ 140kt bomb. Panthersville would be the place to be, it seems.

Here’s what “Fat Man” would’ve done to metro Atlanta. The initial blast and effects wouldn’t reach Dobbins Air Force Base in Marietta. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Decatur is a different story.

And last, but not least, is what an asteroid comparable in size to the one that wiped out all those lizards would do to metro Atlanta. Or pretty much the entire Western Hemisphere.

Asteroids: The real enemy. Have a great day and think happy thoughts, folks.
