Same for heating and many ovens.

Or somewhere where the water table is deep. I'd be better off with a portable desalination unit of some type.

Reason for optimism



After 1 week the Hot Zone will be the size of the max extent of the DFZ (10-20 miles).

As I see it, the problem is not that the enemy drop one 10kt nuke-No they will drop hundred if not thousand of nukes with a variety of strength from 10 kt to 5 or higher megaton nukes.

Try to make same calculation as shown in your picture, but here you have 6 Mirv-2 Megaton nukes overlapping each other hitting Washington.

Can’t remember who it was but somebody here at Subim posted this “Nuke Map” many years ago.

Sure, there are numerous scenarios. It could be a massive strike, it could be a very limited strike. I can't do much about a massive strike but if the Russians hit us with 10 nukes and the US responds in kind, that could be enough to stop both parties.

As I said, who knows what can happen and how our chances are, but I am thinking about the possibility that smart measures the first 30 days could allow us to get over the worst of it and continue with our lives, whereas not making these moves could result in us being the fallen victims of a small strike that the rest of the nation holds vigils and lights candles for you.

^ You're right there are many scenarios when it comes to this MAD-thing.

Lets hope it doesn't come so far.

Even though you may be correct when you wrote:

I say 50/50 chance we will have a nuke exchange within the next year
(not exactly what you wrote)

Forgot something
In this picture they use a 10kt nuke-I call these small nukes tactical nukes and would most likely be used on the battle field-When it comes to military complex and cities the strength will a lot higher.

Well Neal, it would've been nice to do one, last subsim BBQ, but it may take a Texan to end this? Here's to extra spicy BBQ sauce and banana creme pie!
