LOL...that was funny Frank. I think I would rather do without electric
than being barbecued. I remember growing up I always thought (like
many kids I would guess) that a nuclear bomb being dropped and that
would be all she wrote.

That is far from the truth, now if you lived at grown zero or 20-30
miles it could make for a good movie. My hope would be that there
would be enough of a warning that even if one was headed to my town
that I'd have enough of a jump on it to get the heck out of there.
Hope it never happens in my lifetime, but I feel I am as prepared as
one could be.

The trip time for an ICBM from Europe/middle east to the US is between 15
and 30 minutes. I doubt the government would bother to warn the public
about it since all it would do is cause panic and likely end up costing
more
lives than just letting it be. You wouldn't have time to leave a city of
any
size, let alone get out of the blast zone of an air burst nuke.

About all there would be to do is pray.

I'll add this B.A. - I wonder how hard it would be for the gubiment to
keep it a secret. Something of that nature, I don't know. It would be
really super easy or super hard to keep it quiet IMO.

1) it's pretty easy to keep a secret for half an hour

2) remember, you would not be the only one trying to run, and people get
very sloppy at 90 MPH.

3) Living outside a large city is no guarantee you're not ground zero..
there are plenty of targets in rural areas, too.
