Editing The Post-Apocalyptic Roadmap/Pennsylvania

All of Northwestern PA is an irradiated crater, Lake Erie now a hotbed for aquatic mutants. Pittsburgh has also been thoroughly buttfucked by nukes, any thoughts of scavenging here are suicidal, heavy radiation, rivers of molten steel, and mutants fused with steel being the only things even worth talking about. In fact, most of the Northern part of the state has been turned into shit thanks to Manhattan being so close.

Of course, the South Easternmost part of the state is also left thoroughly reamed by atomic cock. What's left of Philadelphia is now infested with mutated, disease ridden birds, and raiders who will probably kill you, eat you, fuck what's left of your corpse, and then eat the rest.
 
However, there is hope in the middle of the state, which has been left relatively untouched, save for occasional flocks from the southeast, and radiation storms from the northwest. Farmlands, trading posts, and actual civilization are prevalent in the middle of Pennsylvania. A genuinely peaceful place, some areas are even more protected thanks to the mountains of the region. The only real problems the people face out here are coping with drugs being gone (seriously, mid PA is junkie heaven), and coal veins bursting underneath their feet.

Yeah, ever heard of Centralia? No? Well, it's just this tiny little town that has been literally burning from the inside out since the 50's thanks to some fuckwits who thought "HEY, LET'S SHOVE GARBAGE INTO AN OLD COAL MINE AND LIGHT IT ON FIRE!". Since this fateful day of stupidity, Centralia has been slowly collapsing in on itself, and has also been providing the inspiration for Silent Hill (I wish I was joking). Well, since the bombs dropped, a lot of the blast has managed to spark previously untouched coal veins to life, forcing entire chunks of land to, as the locals now call it, "open up a path straight to Hell". Giant patches of land that are literally pits of pure, unending fire dot the state. Then again, having the ground potentially collapse beneath your feet and drop you into a scorching hell pit is better than being stuck in the desert, or an irradiated city, or Detroit.

Then again though, who the fuck wants to go to Pennsylvania?
