Yeah, and there you could get so high that you probably wouldn't even notice. If you did, you wouldn't care.

Auburn, because you couldn't tell the difference in whether you still existed or not.

I think I'd try to ride out the storm in Harry's Bar.

Amen. That movie, "The Day After" was chilling.

Have yall been to eastern Oregon? We drove thru there last summer. Talk about lack of civilization! I swear, we drove hours without seeing a soul and sometimes not even power lines! Just rolling hills of grass, scrub, and a bunch of nothing.

why would I want to survive it? I doubt it really works out too well for the survivors.

"Nuclear winter" used to be the term for the aftermath. Climate change and rising sea levels may not be so urgent under this scenario.

Pardon my ignorance but what is in Montana, ND, and the Wyoming/Nebraska/Colorado area that warrants so many 2000 warhead strikes?

Bunkers from which we launch nuclear missiles and other NORAD facilities.

IIRC those are known ICBM silo and / or nuclear weapon storage locations. NORAD is near Colorado Springs.

Yes, it is. The "city inside a mountain" is a sight to behold.

So, allegedly, the Soviets smuggling an Atomic Demolition Munitions not the U.S. in the 1980's.
They told the US where to pick them up in 1993. Only two of the three were found. Oops.
Fortunately, nukes need maintenance, so I am not sure #3 is still functional, but still...

Take a look at the British movie "Threads" sometime

Iirc, weren't those the 'suitcase' type?

I've seen that as well. Nothing about nuclear war is appetizing.

They put those nuclear missile sites in remote places because in the event of war, hopefully there would be fewer civilian casualties. My son is in the Air Force, stationed in Minot, ND and that's his job, working with nuclear missiles. Sweet Jesus, that's a God forsake place. The winters are just brutal. Wind chills of -50 below zero are not uncommon. God bless him, he's been there almost 5 years.
