At 1.5 to 3km
 Heat
would cause so many fires that a "firestorm" would be
started. Rising hot air would suck in air from the surrounding area
and stoke up a very hot and extensive fire. The blast would leave
houses irrepairably damaged. Streets would be blocked by debris.
Steel bridges would collapse. Vehicles would be thrown around by
the intense wind.
Many people would die from third degree burns, which would char
their skin. This would be made worse by radiation. Others would
be crushed by buildings. The greatest killer in this zone would
be the firestorm.
The area within this zone (1.5 - 3 kms) would be 20 square kms.
