😂 but also yeah this. If I know it’s coming, maybe kiss my kids before we all die in a fireball?

Don’t stand near the window. Don’t look at the sky. I think it would suck to go blind or be sheered by glass before you are killed.

why would you WANT to live?

Even if you lived, the rest of the country (and planet) would turn into a radioactive waste land. There would be no potable water anywhere not contaminated with radiation. Even if you did manage somehow to find water, you'd have to fight people to death for any remaining food.

This is of course you can even survive and not magically get radiation poisoning. Trust me, you'd much rather die in the initial blast than from radiation poisoning. If the US ever got nuked, it wouldn't make sense for the attacker to ONLY launch one or two nukes directed at say NYC and DC. You'd have to try to cripple the US so that we couldn't retaliate. That means launching 10, 20, 30, 40+ nukes to cover the entire land area of the US in order to try to decapitate leadership. They'd also set off nukes high up to trigger an EMP that'd wipe out the power grid. There'd be no where to hide from nuclear winter and deadly fall out.

Just die.

You’re not yourself without a Snickers.

Thank you for the bummer-snortle combo.

This photo is from a person who got acute radiation poisoning from the demon core that was going to be used to drop another bomb on Japan:




Your skin and flash peel off like a banana. And that's just the beginning of your maladies.

You'd much rather be fries to death in the initial blast than die from radiation poisoning during nuclear winter.

That’s an old bomb. You don’t have to worry about that with new ones.

This post has me really depressed, because I have kids and if this becomes a likely scenario it’s overwhelmingly stressful.

In Virginia you need to be west of Winchester to not be evaporated or in an unsurvivable amount of radiation band.

South of dc gets the quantico and Norfolk impacts so that would be a bad area too.

Maryland is harder to figure out because ft Meade and nsa could have 10 weapons hit there but there which would make the state uninhabitable.

Those are all low level targets.

Honestly I would stock up on my favorite foods, some wine and some poison that would kills us quickly and without suffering. Who wants to live through this?

My elderly mother is so obsessed with survival i am pretty sure she'd eat me alive. She already does with all her demands.I find it so strange because she is perpetually miserable. I have no doubt she is busy devising her plan in case of nuclear attack.

The bombs dropped on DC and the Pentagon will be ground burst, because their job is to disrupt military command and control networks. That means a smaller blast radius but much, much worse fallout. Depending on prevailing winds, you'd be looking at a 10-50 mile plume of fallout deposition where no one would be able to leave their homes for 3-4 weeks or else they'd receive a lethal dose of radiation. That area would not be inhabitable again in our lifetimes. It'd be like the Chernobyl exclusion zone.

Personally, and I say this with all seriousness, if one nuke goes off in Europe, I'm getting on the next flight to Argentina, because the Northern Hemisphere is going to be in for some rough times, and huge swaths of it would become uninhabitable.

I'd be moving in with my in-laws in Chicago for sure. And I hate them so I don't say it lightly.
