“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.

You said — This is true. I was speculating a direct hit with a *real* nuke.

And you can be hit by a real nuke, too, and there are survivable boundaries to that hit... (just not right on top of your head... LOL...)
