Tactical nuclear is the more likely nuclear option, if any?

Back when, all tactical nuclear strikes lead to full strategic strikes eventually
My original comment was based on a continent-wide firestorm which was the 1970 Soviet plan of attack. Some challenged that wanting links which obviously do not exist.
Others claimed its impossible to make a firestorm where there are no buildings, forests an so on. I think they do not realize how a gigantic firestorm would work when burning at thousands of degrees across a broad area where oxygen becomes the primary fuel.
If any of that would happen, having supplies would do no good. You and they would be consumed above ground and asphyxiated below ground.
East of the Mississippi would be the very worst place to shelter, as it would be sure to be the hardest hit. All those WVA trees are fuel.
East of the Missippi is the best I can do at age 83. My WV place is about 120 miles from my main home, so much farther not possible. Hopefully leave a day or two before all hell busts loose, and pray both sides engage in a limited nuclear war. Otherwise, I have my pistol and no need to suffer a slow painful death.
