Dodge the Rads (Radiation,) it’s dangerous out there.
April 9 to April 16, 2016
RADIATION CPM* CITY STATE
Listed in Counts per Minute, a Count is One Radioactive Decay Registered by the Instrument.
The Top Reporting Radioactive Cities are listed. The highest radiation reporting city is listed first, the least radioactive city reporting is listed last. Still, all reporting cities are above normal. These are the top portion of the American cities that exceeded 1,000 CPM this week.
Normal Radiation is 5 to 20 CPM [4]

Normal Radiation is 5 to 20 CPM [4]
The Count
Miami is in First place in the countdown to the end of time. Other cities have the radioactive “contagion,” just not as severe, even though the listed cities all exceed 1000 CPM.
Rad Contagion in Miami, Florida
Miami joins Los Angeles, California and St. Louis, Missouri as the latest victims of the nuclear nations’ toying with the city and country destroying strength of Big Time Rads. What city or country will be next?
Have a wonderful radioactive weekend and remember to Dodge the Rads, it’s dangerous out there.
