Well, it could be one of those North Korean ones, you know... the one they never can tell if it’s a real nuke or just a big boom...
And then, it could be one of those al Qaeda Russian suitcase nukes and then it may not have been maintained properly and it just blows out a lot of material into the air...,
or perhaps they’re trying to do a “dirty nuke” and just poison a lot of people...
Then again, I might be right on the edge of it and the blast knocks down my house and obliterates the neighborhood, and I was in the basement, seeing daylight over my head... LOL...
Could be all sorts of reasons why I might want to be holed up somewhere for a few weeks... :-)
This is true. I was speculating a direct hit with a *real* nuke.
I wish I had this paper on all the different scenarios for different types of nuclear attacks. It was pretty fascinating. (If I find it, I'll forward it to you).
Supposedly one can survive fallout and such if they barricade themselves in their home and avoid breathing or coming in contact with it. (kind of tricky unless you have a Geiger counter)
There comes a point where you can go outside but, if the bomb was detonated as an EMP, the world will be a very different place.
