@Lightfighter Love the humour

@Lightfighter when I lived 2mi from the Pentagon, people asked if I was worried.
Nope, a little flash and problem solved.
@petrillic I was living in Triangle, VA for 9/11, right at the front gate to Quantico. So many targets around there.

@Lightfighter exactly. Nothing to worry about. You'll be charcoal before a nerve impulse gets anywhere.

@Lightfighter I think the safety procedure for a radioactive event is to go stand in the parking lot in alphabetical order.

@superflippy If you are still mobile after surviving the blast by taking cover under a desk that consists of pot metal and a piece of plywood, yes.

That's kinda my prep here, who's one of the top five employers in my town and less than 2 miles from my house? Boeing. What's the odds that Hazelwood Missouri, a town that likely no one outside of the area has heard of, is a target?

@Lightfighter Back in the day the lawn chair plan was exactly what scout leaders recommended if you ever heard that missiles were on their way.

Sometimes when we were out at the beach many years ago we would see a nuclear submarine heading out to sea and we would look up and wave to the Soviet satellites.

@Lightfighter I'm going to get naked and stand on the roof.

@atomicbird Beats the Army training I got back in the 80's... If you see a flash, go prone with your ass to the blast. About as useful as the desk in school.

This is the real reason I became a truck driver. If apocalypse comes for me, I'm stealing a diesel tanker trailer and Mad Maxing this shit.

@Lightfighter I live less than 20 mi from a major nuclear power plant target. The way I see it, I am definitely within the blast radius if it gets hit. Meh.

@Lightfighter "I've planned ahead. We're just three miles from a primary target. A millisecond of brilliant light... and we're vaporized. Much more fortunate than the millions who wander sightless through the smoldering aftermath. We'll be spared the horror of survival." — Dr. Stephen Falken, "WarGames" (1983)
@theorangetheme @Lightfighter Yup, found the relevant quote I was looking for here.
Also notable mention to @codinghorror for the other one. "I want to get somebody on the god damn phone before I kill 20 million people"
