Given that it's not specifically that city, I think a general assumption is better than using google maps. However, by double checking the math with a calculator, I got a radius higher than the one in it, so that would raise the result a bit.

What would a general assumption be? Using other cities as reference, or?
Armorchompy
I meant your original calculation method
LaserPrecision
Oh, I used the same city. I just used the square root (Well, I'm pretty sure it's the square root, I put it through a square kilometer to kilometer converter). The new one just uses the diameter I found on Google Maps instead.
Armorchompy
I know, i just think that since you don't know the area of the city that was destroyed, using its actual shape isn't really good IMO, it's better to treat it as if the area was a circle, which is the "optimal" area to radius ratio, and as such a reasonable lowball. Which gets you the radius in my original reply
LaserPrecision
Just to be clear, use the area of the city as if it were a circle area? So enter the 523 sq km area as if it were a circular area?
Armorchompy
yeah imo
LaserPrecision
Alright, I'll make an edit using that method, it makes sense to me.
Just another question for another calc I did a while ago. If someone halts the movement of an object, obviously it can be used as a Lifting Strength feat. I just want to know the specifics of how I'd calc that. I heard you say that Joules can be converted to Lifting Strength, and I think I have an idea of what you meant since Joules is Newtons over a distance right, so you basically take the distance/recoil someone took from stopping the object by its Joules to get LS? If so, what if the character doesn't seem to move at all? Assume a very small arbitrary distance?

Yeah, just do 1/2 cm or something like that, I would caution that this kind of feat can be a bit outliery so if there's antifeats don't use it. But yes joules / distance of force in meters = ls in newton, divide by 9,81 to get ls in kg
