A 5 megaton bomb will collapse buildings in a 6-7km radius and then set the entire city on fire. China could level Albuquerque with a single Dong-Feng 5. Especially if they use their 12 1MT warhead MIRV configuration. Fusion weapons are in a whole new ballgame compared to 15kt Hiroshima weapon. While nuclear weapons tend to scale logarithmically with regards to damage, it hardly matters when the weapons are 300x more energetic. That doesn't even take into account the much higher levels of fallout from U-238 tampered high yield weapons.
