What would happen to Louisiana in the fallout world would it nuked to hell or maybe in tact maybe flooded.

But remember there might be flooding maybe a PROBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE a few mutated fish but would it have even gotten nuked ts not a really big target.Fryingpan57 03:40, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

New Orleans might have been hit, since its a big US city with a port though perhaps not, as its not a major military center for the US. The rest of the state is likely badly radiated because of the Mississippi bringing irradiated water to the state swamps ala Point Lookout. --Revolverman 10:37, October 10, 2010 (UTC) True so this place would be like a huge point lookout hmFryingpan57 17:53, October 11, 2010 (UTC)

God damn hell on earth if people there are like the swampfolk of Point Lookout. --Revolverman 06:38, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

There would have probably been some initial flooding, since nukes hit coastal cities around the globe (meaning that even if Orleans wasn't hit, the energy of nuclear explosions would have gone into the oceans and caused pressure throughout, making mini-tidal waves and probably water level rises for half a day or so) Point Lookout would have likely experienced some of the same, though not as bad since it was linked to a bay area, which sort of shelters and gradualizes some of the harsh water rises. Basically, a lot of cities/towns may have been flooded, and those that were artificially built in naturally swampy areas (New Orleans) would have probably gone back to being swamplands, that is, unless the people who lived there numbered large enough and had the resources to continue to maintain their flood control systems. Otherwise, natural wear and tear should turn it back into a swampland in a matter of decades after the war. Also, natural swamplands might have expanded a little bit. Otherwise, no, Louisiana would not have likely been entirely consumed, though a good part of it would sort of have been. Damn, I hope if we ever see it there are killer mutant alligators.
