If you far enough from the initial blast and survive the heat and radiation, the first sign will be your internet is down. Everyone’s. Then the electricity stops. Forever. You’ll have no info, no fuel can be pumped, and your food rots. Then you starve, if you survive the marauders searching for food and weapons.

So good luck with that.

RE: nuclear disaster....

You’re telling me? I grew up with the 1st grade lesson to duck and cover and I read Level Seven by Mordecai Roshwald about life 7 stories underground after a war, as well as the books and films of On the Beach and Fail Safe among many others. And I really resent living long enough for Dr. Strangelove to be coming true today. God forbid.

Did a front of class project describing affects after nuclear war with poster board illustrations. Got an “A.”

I fear dying slowly in the barbarian filled aftermath with radiation poisoning, cannibalism and gangs. Movie Things To Come with Raymond Massey with survival of the meanest louts is probable.

Like today’s NYC and DC I suppose.

Classic Ron Cobb cartoon of the man whose lack of an outlet to regain his lost TV signal is about the worst thing he can imagine.

And then the radiation poison that will kill you, depending on where you are. No winners in this, only losers.

Sounds just like the situations in Cormac McCarthy’s book “The Road”.
