I’ve been teasing illustr8r a bit since NOKO announced Seattle would be their main target when lobbing a nuke at our coast.
I said, teasingly, if it meant she’d be collateral damage, but Seattle goes, I’d have to take that trade-off.
She reminded me that a few others at iOTWreport would also be lost (she mentioned their names), I hesitated, thought, and said, “still gotta go with losing Seattle.”
So, to show I’m not too hard-hearted, I’m publishing this guide to how to stay safest in the event you survive a nuclear blast.
You’ll know a nuclear bomb went off near you if there’s a sudden flash of bright, white light, which may or may not give you flash blindness if you’re within 50 miles or so of ground zero. If that bright, white blindness eventually clears up, and you don’t suddenly feel at peace, you’re alive. Other signs of a nuclear blast include near instant first-degree to third-degree burns if you’re within 10 miles or so, and of course, the trademark mushroom cloud looming over the skyline.
Wooden structures, like most houses and smaller one story buildings, won’t do much good against fallout radiation, unfortunately. Is it better than nothing? Kind of, but Dillon recommends you move to a better location if possible. If you can dash to a more dense, protective shelter in about five minutes of exposure, go for it. If getting there would take longer, say up to 15 minutes of exposure, stay where you are for at least an hour, then make your move. A good portion of the intense fallout radiation will have subsided by then, reducing your exposure some.
Stick your contaminated clothing in a plastic bag, seal it off, and get it far away from you and others. While you shower, use shampoo and soap, but do not scrub or scratch your skin. And do not use hair conditioner, as it will bind radioactive material to your hair. Once clean, blow your nose, then wipe your eyelids, eyelashes, and ears to remove any leftover material.
Lastly, make sure you only drink bottled water and eat food from sealed containers until a rescue team can get to you.
RUN TO THE LIGHT!!!
We did machine work on Standard Missile Block 2 and 3 eight years ago and at that time they were successfully intercepting ICBM dummies with out issue. I know for a fact they’re much more accurate and consistent now. The Little Fat Freak will never hit the U.S. with a Missile. That’s just one such anti missile system we have. There’s more.

It’s hip in schools now for teachers to make fun of the old Duck and Cover cartoon with that turtle. But at the time, with relatively low yield atomic devices, you probably would have just enough time if you saw the flash to jump under something to get you out of the way of flying glass.
First thing, kill all the politicians.
Depending on how close you were to it, of course.
I live a stones throw from the HQ of the 8th AF B52 bomber wing, a major rail head and a military ammunition depot. I moved here intentionally so when and if the big one starts I won’t be a survivor. Prime Target.
ha HA hA! Don’t hold your breath
for the “rescue team” Lotza luck with that…

Darn, my school teachers told us we would be safe under our desks! Another lie?
I live in Western Washington about 65 miles south of Seattle. I told my mother, who lives in the Atlanta area, the other day that we would be the first to go and that was okay with me. I don’t want to be around to see the devastation after a nuclear strike. Western Washington really is a ground zero target. We have so many military bases in this area it is only logical to be a target.
Thanks for the advice though BFH!
An ICBM launched from Pyongyang would have to follow the Great Circle path to Seattle in order to cover the shortest distance, which means it would skim the southwestern coast of Alaska and pass over Kodiak Island before reaching the contiguous US. Plenty of time for an intercept.
When the crazies nuke their ideological brethren, I call that a win.
Well, if NoKo lets loose with a nuclear bomb on Seattle, Cuba will probably be emboldened and hit Florida, so I guess we’re even. I’d really rather a bright light and sheet of fire in the sky be the Rapture…
(We have intercept capabilities that people don’t even know about. WA state has been prepared since the last war with Korea. And the Japanese before them.)
For what it is worth, and this is only my opinion, a nuclear missile attack is #3 in likelihood. With dirty bomb or EMP being as great or greater a problem. That should make everyone more comfortable.
Awwww geez. Don’t tell Seattle they’re a prime target. All their freaks, insane, and misfits will run to Portland and God knows, we already have enough freaks, teachers, weirdos, leftists, fags, commies, professors, dykes, anarchists, bums, homeless, alcys, druggies, drop outs, runaways, insanes, illegals, FBI most wanteds, fugitives, reporters, brain deads, and other democrats.
My money is on California. They aim at Oregon and take out Chula Vista.

Well, my daylight basement isn’t going to offer me much protection. Drat! Onward with haunting BFH! Cyclists! Bike lanes! Oh my!
Imagine the Circular Error Probability of a Nork, untested, 1st gen ICBM, reentry vehicle and warhead. It’s a last ditch terror weapon at best.
More likely they would release a bug or smuggle a low yield device into a major port.
Check out exercise Gotham Shield set for 24th-26th of this month.
I have no idea. But let’s say they ‘intercept’ an ICBM type missile over Calif. at 60,000 ft.
Now what.
My guess a lot of the radioactive material floats down from 60,000 ft.
Covering a huge area with nuclear weapons grade material.
We shot it down, it did not blow, but it still has a lot of radioactive material
Why are all these countries even allowing Lil Fat Boy to hang around? He’s nothing but trouble to his neighbors.
Those people around him need to realize that and take this little punk out.
Yer gonna need a bigger basement!

How could you forget THIS?!
You forgot, ‘Bend over and kiss your butt good bye’, if you are on target.
In elementary school in the 60s, the bomb drills had us go to our lockers and “assume the position” of face down, curled up on your knees with hands and arms over your head.
All of us knew this was really about being able to identify our bodies by what locker we were in front of and not survival.
If NoKo launches a nuclear-tipped missile at Seattle, it’ll be a dud – or, at most, a “dirty” bomb. The Physicists and Engineers in NoKo are blowing smoke up L’il Kim’s ass and he’s too ignorant to understand.
Stupid + Arrogant = Manipulable

This is a topic for discussion thanks to President Clinton, who sent Jimmy Carter and Madeline Albright to give nuclear weapons to North Korea. Obama gave nukes to Iran (only a matter of time). The traitors in the Democratic Party WANT our enemies to be armed. The Democratic Party is an existential threat to the American people. To say it should be crushed would be an understatement.
If NOKO could get a missile to travel that far, the warhead would turn out to be a 600 watt oven, with it’s display flashing ’12:00′.
In the Navy we had a LT who was required to teach us all kinds of stuff about how to protect ourselves as related to NBC/CBRN warfare. He started it off with, “I’m required to teach you this, but the main thing you should know is you’re going to fucking die.”
If NOKO strikes Seattle, hopefully Alaska melts very soon after that. I really don’t want to survive that shit.
