Bear in mind the nuke lists only show the larger strikes - over 0.5 Mt except for a handful of specific exceptions (the White House for example which received a 0.25 Kt ground burst).

Howling Wilderness also states on page 10:

The exclusion of a city from this list does not mean that is is intact. Civil unrest, hostile military action, and other factors have cause severe damage in regions otherwise untouched by the war.
Given there are Mexican units in the LA region, it would be safe to assume the area has suffered "hostile military action", and those areas not destroyed by nukes have been damaged by more conventional means.
There's also the probability the fires caused by nukes spread unchecked for days, weeks, potentially even months, not to mention the possibility of earthquakes and the associated damage they can cause.
