Don't listen to this. It is rubbish. A small tactical nuclear warhead (small one) has a 10 mile radius which is a circle 20 miles across. This radius is basically a black spot on the Earth. Glass and otherwise scorched with virtually 100% casualties. Inside this radius even those moderately sheltered would burn. Those outside this zone out to about 15 miles from the blast would not fair well. Glass and debris would be flying around like a tornado. So this would depend on how well you sheltered in place. If you sheltered properly you could expect to find many in need of your help. Radiation exposure would be severe out to about 20 miles. So again this would depend on how well you sheltered. But there are prolonged risks of exposure and without knowledge of what you're dealing with most wouldn't last long enough to prosper or proliferate afterwards.Skans » 12 Sep 2022, 3:02 pm » wrote: ↑ If you live inside of a city, you're screwed. Yes, in a Nuclear war, Urbanites will be incinerated. However, only those living inside of a 10 mile radius. In fact, those living just 50 miles from a large city would be completely spared and wouldn't suffer even any bad radiation effects.
So, most of Middle America would be spared. Unless you live right in a big city, there really is nothing to worry about when it comes to a nuclear war.
