All I need is a Vault-Tec vault, a Pip-Boy, and I'm fine.

I'm not close enough to ground zero I think. In between Los Angeles and whatever the next military target up the coast is.
I don't have a shelter I can go to for 1-3 weeks. I might need to relocate to an exact drop zone.

The cool thing about living right next to an R1 uni in a state capital with a working nuclear reactor is that you won't have to die slowly.

I should be close enough to a target that I won't even feel anything. Beats giant meteor.

If this were the '80s, it grade school desk would be enough to protect you from a nuclear blast.

If I remember right, at one point Cold war projections had the Russians with enough nukes to target every north American town with more than 2000 people

Not to worry, us Gen-Xers mastered the technique of crouching and covering our heads. All the lead still in our systems from childhood is bonus shielding.

Try growing up in a primary nuclear target, where the local news would run a "human interest story" every few months about how many warheads might land on my skull.
And I was downwind from everything that would be hit, so if the flash and fires didn't get me, the fallout sure as shiat would.

I refuse to believe that anyone is going to bother nuking Grand Junction, Colorado.

No, just the good ones. Ohio will be unaffected.

If you're not fried in the nuclear hellfire the radiation and plutonium infused dust particles will provide an absolute suffering death.

We were all too busy watching slasher films while our parents got drunk at home then going to school where they told us non-stop about marijuana, cocaine, and LSD, mentioning that they thought maybe we should say "No" to them when we were offered them, to worry much about getting turned into charcoal at a moments notice.

So according to that, no fallout would reach me. Nothing else would, either, but at least I won't be glowing in the dark as I starve and/or dehydrate.
