I'll have to use this tool for my conquest of the world.

NUKEMAP

NUKEMAP is a Google Maps mash-up that calculates the effects of the detonation of a nuclear bomb.

Just put your thumb up. If your thumb covers the mushroom cloud, you're outside the kill zone. If it doesn't... oh well.

Does it take into account wind speed/direction at the site and calculate downwind hazard of the fallout?

That is a neat tool. In my civilian line of work I am an security officer at a nuclear power plant. We get to learn about all of these fun things. I also learned if one went off I am pretty much screwed since my house is so close.
