No, all that's saying is it wasn't hit with 0.5 MT or greater. It's quite possible it was hit with something smaller - that's up to the individual GM to decide.

The severity of the attack on each target point is represented by the megaton (Mt) rating of the weapons exploded there (not necessarily as a single weapon).
So that confirms Norfolk could have received (and in my opinion did) multiple warheads. Langley is only about 10 miles from the Naval base so it's conceivable the writers didn't bother to split it into two separate listings. For example we all know Warsaw received 3 warheads to the city yet it's only listed once.

With certain exceptions, only places that received .5 megaton or more are covered here
Remember the lists ONLY show the larger strikes with a few exceptions on targets which are detailed in the modules. One of those exceptions is the Presidential shelter at the White House (.25 Mt, ground burst).
We also know nuclear craters are a possible result on the random encounter tables, so it's absolutely certain nowhere near all nuclear strikes have been listed in the books.
