if you live within 20 miles of any air force bases, army depots or major naval ports, youre a deadman likely before you or right as you figure out what is happening, unless you get a warning, then you can panic for 15-30 mins before you die. you could scramble for cover and try your luck in a nuked city and all the fun that brings, but i wouldnt recommend it. if you didnt prep for nuclear war, and you survive one, you will wish you hadnt. im not even talking about the turbo cancer youll likely develop, the struggle for shelter, food and water will be the death of you before radiation. if you live 30-40 miles away you still have a bad time ahead. survivors reaching your area will scheme, loot and kill to keep surviving. there will not be enough to go around for the first few years, you will likely be pitted against your rural neighbors for food and water, when either you or they have a failure in supply. if you dont live in the middle of nowhere with at least a modicum of prep, youre probably going to die. 80-90% of the usa will be killed in total. 30-35% of the world will die. many more will suffer. it is the great filter. buckle up, space dust.
