Nuke Blast



Nuke Blast

Here’s one link you can play around with. I did.
I like my own American military training better, but this link is still both open source and maybe realistic at the local level. Anyway, that is what we have available today that I know of.

Keep in mind several things.
1) Bend over and kiss your tail goodbye if you have the bad luck to get nuked. Most of us won’t have this happen to them, in my opinion. If it does, so be it.
2) Most bad nuke stuff ( like will kill us) degrades in about 3 days, so if you and your Family can hunker down for three days, that is good for you and your Family. Generally that means go to the center of your home or place.
3) It is the downrange impacts from radioactive fallout that is worrisome, but remember it is still weather related, and usually limited. By the time the Japanese glass ball fishing floats (at the time in the 1950’s) hit the beaches in Hawaii after floating across the Pacific Ocean, they were collector’s items and not worried about as per radiation stuff. Said another way, nobody died from collecting them.
4) The chances of you dying from weather related downrange impacts is small. Even most will not have “mutant” type children. Now some may, and that is always a worry. You never know for sure since the areas of contamination will vary. Even the rumor of John Wayne dying from nuke contamination on a Hollywood set out in desert lands of the USA is still alive and well.
5) Now later you can evacuate the area if you choose. It is a crummy situation if lawlessness has arisen, too.  Are you willing to shoot someone while defending your home? Are you willing to shoot someone to try get through some kind of road block if you evacuate?
6)  Remember the average water heater has 40 gallons of clean water to use if you can access it.  I know how to access mine. Do you know how to access yours? Whether the water heater is gas or electrically heated is immaterial, by the way.  Clean water is clean water, period.
7)  Canned food and about anything else (food wise) can be contaminated on the outside, but not on the inside. So you can safely eat, too. Now whether you like your menu or not is another subject.
8) I’ve been to Hiroshima, Japan (home of the first nuke blast) a couple of times and even rung the peace bell at the Park there. Even within the city Shukkeien Garden is gorgeous and peaceful these days, so nuke blast recovery does happen, and relatively quickly. I’ve even run a marathon nearby. I’ve even attended a baseball game there. And for sure I’ve eaten the food there and drunk the local water, so far (now decades later) with no ill effect. Said another way, prudent Germans would fly all their food and water into their Kiev consulate after Chernobyl. In the long run, that may have been a waste of their public money.
