Put me at ground zero.......not sure if I want to live past a nuclear winter in the USA.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssYtaUr5NPo
No I am not prepared to survive a nuclear attack. In an all out war, I think we would be hit pretty hard. I don't think the majority of the population would survive. I pray for it to be over quickly.

According to that, there is absolutely no reason for me to even try to prepare to survive a nuclear attack. Like you, I pray it would be over fast. I've said it before, you do what you can and you give the rest to God. For anyone in the Oklahoma City area, this would be one of those times.
I agree. That picture makes me want to move out to the panhandle! Nuclear attack scares me more than any other SHTF scenario (Even more than zombies)..............probably because it is more of a reality.
I have done a limited amount of research into this. This is one of those low probability high damage scenarios, but something to think about once again. I agree that if you are in the OKC area, kiss it goodbye. Tinker is a top tear target and will not likely be a single hit either. If you are in an area safely outside of those zones, and hopefully where the prevailing winds won't carry the radiation directly at you, there are some home room sized filtration systems on the market. Here is a link to one I found. They also sell larger systems. The key to this kind of thing is to pressurize the room you are in, make sure that all of the incoming air is filtered. The odds go up a lot of you can survive the first few days. Not sure what kind of world there would be after such an attack, but if you have a strong survival instinct, life will likely go on for some.

I think the threat of an EMP is much more likely, it won't destroy the infrastructure like conventional nukes would. 90% of the population would be dead in the first year, easy for a foreign power to come in and take over after the die off.

I'm not far from oloogah power plant....so not much chance here.
That is likely a tertiary target, so you get a few hours.
