Along with everyone else. I think I’ll be heading to the PA woods.

Nice thing is, I’m midway between Pliladelphia and DC. My only real concern is if a nuke goes off and prevailing winds are in my favor.

Best bet may be to hang tight for a day or two, then leave.

If you are far enough away from the detonation, and have a shelter that has thick enough walls, and food/water for 2 weeks, then you can survive the radiation.

Remembering from the old civil defense data from the 1960s, you should wait at least 2 weeks before leaving your shelter, and even then it should be limited.

A corner of the basement that is underground, can be adapted. Just add very thick walls (6ft for concrete) to the corner and a partial wall in front of the doorway (Radiation doesn’t turn corners), and then overhead. The 2 walls that are underground in the corner don’t need additional shielding.
