Would you survive a nuclear blast?

Mmm...so if downtown San Francisco was hit, it looks like I'd make it 🙂

But if it were downtown Oakland, I'd only have about a fifty percent chance 🙁
 
Hey, if they attack the PAVE PAWS radar installation with only a 1 mt surface bomb, I LIVE!!! Although getting off the Cape might be a problem as the Sagamoure bridge wouldn't exist and the Bourne bridge would probably be lying in the canal...
 
Does anybody know anything about nuclear tactics? I live about 10-15 miles outside of DC, so a 1 megaton might not be so bad, but a 25 would really ruin my day.
 
Holy Jiminy Cricket, Batman!!

I live in Houston right now, and one of those 25 megatons dropped downtown would literally wipe out the whole entire freaking city! :Q:Q:Q

Ummm...when you hear the sonic boom, fall to the ground facing the blast and cover your genitals w/one hand and your vital organs w/the other
 
If we do get hit, I will use my skills aquired by playing Fallout 2 for several months straight to survive. All I have to do it get some power armor and head to California. From there I will live in a utopian society of pale skinned survivors.

I don't know about you, but I consider my genitals to be extremely vital.
 
They say that cockroaches survive. This means that most of the population of ATOT would be fine.

*ahem* I've linked this site about a half dozen times before, but I won't cry REPOST since it is actually a really good tool *ahem* 😀



<< I'm screwed if it hits DC >>


Me too, I live 5 miles from the Capitol, go to school 4 miles from it(and1 from the Pentagon!!) :Q

On the upside, go Terps!!!! 😀 😀 😀

Anywhere DC you are screwed, that would be target #1, and hit with the biggest, or multiple missles. Sorry dude.
 
Woot! I'm far enough from San Fran to not hafta worry and far enough from Sac that only the 25 Megaton Air Blast will give me any problems.

Five percent of the population between the 5 and 2 psi rings are dead. Forty-five percent are injured.

I won't mind that 15 minute drive from Sac to Davis much anymore if this happened.

You don't think it would be the West Coast? (I'm presupposing it comes from Asia)

bahahaha!
 
According to "Duck and Cover," I'll survive by covering myself with newspapers!!!! Then ATOT will be all mine, MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....
 


<< i'm not sure if i want to be living after any nuclear war. >>


I know I would...to go after the f*ckers that sent it here

lol exactly what I was thinking 🙂
 
I don't need to look at a map. If I am underway we will launch in retaliation and then whoever shot us to begin with will try to detonate a nuke at our launch point. If I'm in-port then the US's two Trident bases are obviously primary tgts.

If anyone wants to read a great book about life after nuclear exchange read 'Alas, Babylon' by Pat Frank. It was written in the 1950's, it's a novel not a what-if book but it's still a good book if you're into that sort of thing.
