And NONE of it is in the book.

Absolutely none.

The nuke goes off...somewhere. The civilians dead from the nuke
are about one bus-load. Other civilians killed are not numbered. The net
is probably very screwed up, but they don't say. And the nuke is not actually
very effective, as it was set off inside a magical ward, which contained most
of the damage (including, I hope, the EM pluse.)

Wait for Bug City for help, probably...or ask DLoH.
