I am working on a Fallout-themed campaign set in New Orleans and the Bayou. I'm really excited about the world building I have so far, and some side-quests involving voodoo and mutated swam monsters, but I'm struggling coming up with a good overarching storyline and backstory for the world other than it being destroyed in a nuclear blast. Do you guys have any ideas, or tips for coming up with a good story for my Fallout-obsessed friends?
The issue here is that the origin of the world of fallout is in the name normally It was made because of the radiation following two countries throwing nukes at one another(nuclear fallout) so, some ideas could be, "something something voodoo magic", and something having to do with that chemical that made super mutants(possible orc replacement?)
I know that in Dice, Camera, Action (one of WotC's DnD podcasts) they had a magical bomb equivalent to 10000 magic missile spells. It could be a good start for how the world got the way it was.

Giant flaming rocks filled with tarrasques fall, everyone dies.
