Does anyone have info regarding the effective blast and damage radius of a nuclear weapon, and possible fallout ranges?

I live about 137 miles east of NYC, and and 289 miles north of DC. Assuming these two would be the closest prime targets in my area would I remain relatively safe?

Size, Type of device, Wind, Type of Blast (ground, arieal), Current weather.
To many variables.

DHS and FEMA have revised the stats in the past 10 years due to the probability that any modern nuke will be a suitcase size device and not ICBM.

A google search will give you about a million hits. I would use the government figures on this instead ot the psyco boards.

I worry more about Biological and chemical and what direction the wind is blowing on any given day.

I have seen whole towns evacuated due to chemical spills with no terriorist influnce invilved.
