The category about getting bombed in WWIII is interesting. I understand in previous years, Rochester was somewhat of a potential target, as Kodak did a lot of work for the military

^Same with the DeWitt Rail Yard in the East Syracuse-Minoa area/school district, as it is/was one of the biggest and busiest rail yards in the country.

I did a national post about it showing the safest cities and it was deleted. I still don't know why.

Syracuse was listed as a target when we had the F16s fighter jets based here at the air force base.
