[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It won't matter where you run to in thr US if someone nukes us.  It will be all out war and the US would launch massive nuclear strikes in retaliation. That would also cause more nukes to launched in response. The whole world would die of radiation posioning.[/quote]

It's more a question of how you would like to die. In this situation I'd think the people who die immediately are the luckiest. Unless you are a billionaire with a bunker.[/quote]

My fear is not being with my family. I live in Arlington but work in DC. If we get an alert there are only minutes left to live, I would want to be with my family. Worst case would be it happening during school hours. Those poor teachers trying to keep kids calm and not being with their own families.

And what if DH and I die immediately, but our young kids don’t. There won’t be reliable emergency services and it’s not like they’d have a clue what to do.

The reality though is there isn’t really much I can do to prep (I have no desire to live in a bunker for decades) and we face much bigger risks on a daily basis. We’re going on a road trip this weekend, which is a much bigger statistical danger than a nuke. [/quote]
