First:
Relax.
Now I mentioned KI at the beginning of a different thread, and was routinely pounded for it.
If people want to keep their heads in the sand (or up their butts) I really don’t care.
It seemed strange to me that people who call themselves “conservative” would be so quick to adopt a la-la attitude, you know, Kumbaya, and all that liberal type stuff.
Remember the Boy Scout motto: BE PREPARED!!
So I commend you for your foresight. I don’t have any KI, but I have enough iodine in various forms to treat 1000 people easy if need be.
Listen to the news reports.
I expect that within 72-96 hours, we will start to hear about radiation detectors in America picking up some elevated radiation.
Anybody who thinks thats a crappy prediction doesn’t have a single clue how many of these sorts of things we have out there to detect and analyze nuclear blasts/testing. We got the stuff. Trust me.
IF - and I said IF you hear about elevated radiation, then take appropriate action. In this case, it might be best to rely on reports coming from higher ed facilities and research facilities. Im not sure how much the military would be willing to reveal.
Bottom line, minimum you have 60 hours or so before it could even get here.
Drink a beer. I am. Murphys Stout!
You said it so well, all these arm chair freepers saying relax and making excuses doesn’t suprise me, theres always a huge portion of folks that back such things such as BP during the gulf crisis and so on, it’s almost as if it’s thier duty to line up and drink radio active water becasue the liberals hate nuclear power. Good to hear another reasonable voice out there.
“Remember the Boy Scout motto: BE PREPARED!!”
Sure, but there is a serious difference between being prepared and being a paranoid drama queen.
A nuke plant in Japan blowing its lid will have no affect on someone here.
