      I can’t say, not my map, I dunno anything about Syracuse beyond the wiki page.

      Which does say its over half a million people in the metro area… Rapid City, South Dakota only has under a 100k, and it gets a nuke.

      Could be as simple as: Its got enough people, its a transit crossroads, its far away enough from other larger metros that it gets its own miniature sun, because the one(s) hitting NYC won’t reach that far.
