I'm going to buy an armload of hostess twinkees and park across the highway from Tinker AFB while I snack and wait.
Prolly charge the twinkees on my CC too.

Though I must say I'm surprised at so many drive to ground zero and party responses. In this forum, I guess I kind of expected a grab the family and haul ass in x direction. That's one part of my game plan anyway. Figure worst case in attempting to survive is the same as the best case in driving to ground zero (except for the awesome party and fireworks show view).
Flip on Fox to watch them blame Obama, and go back to sleep.
But seriously, hopping in the car and driving in X direction is a bad idea, especially if you don't have a prepared destination...might as well stay home and see what happens next. Fill up the tubs, crack open the gun safe and.....

You won't have to wait long it only takes 30-40 min for a missile from Russia to get here. Not counting closer subs and such.

Kind of long but very good idea of what to expect.

Just for grins: How far would an attack on Tinker (S/SW wind @15) travel? Or, what type of area would be catastrophically affected?
20 megaton air burst. 4-8 miles total destruction, 8-12 miles all frame and brick and basement structures totally destroyed with all loss of life due to lung, blast and thermal energy, 10-20 miles only reinforced concrete is possibly salvageable fallout shelters useless deep blast shelters helpful, 15-30 miles frame structures severely damaged as well as their basement structures 15% casualties just from flying objects. 20-30 miles all exposed skin has 2nd degree burns and flammable materials combust. up 40 miles out passive glance at blast produces blindness from retinal burn. Fire storms out to 20-30 miles at least.
Up to 4000 sqmi of fallout depending on wind. I'm not summarizing that part.
It's about 10-11 miles from tinker to Mathis Brother's.

Type in City, hit "Go". Then select warhead type and hit "Detonate"….
Typical Chinese ICBM warhead airburst, 5MT, results in a 1.14 mile fireball radius, 7.5 mile blast radius, and a 15 mile 3rd degree burn radius. 285K dead and 400K+ injured.
This is what I'm talking about (not nuclear war, just insightful conversation about a potential disaster). This scenario is one I've thought about a long time since it's only a couple bad decisions away and your lead time is measured in minutes rather than months.
With regard to what we know is facing us now (secret projects, etc are beyond the scope of anyone with reasonable means to prepare for imho), here is a couple links detailing the Russian strategic weapons deployed against the US.
