I asked this of a friend while hiking the other day in jest, but who knows? I joked that I probably wouldn’t have a lot of time, and given I would probably be in shock… the best I could get out might be, “Well, fuck.”
How about you?

How far away? If I’m in the vaporisation zone, I would lie down and relax, if I’m in the radiation poisoning zone, I’d get as fast as I could towards the vaporisation zone :p
Mushroom cloud does not imply nuclear explosion.
Yes, it does imply it. Doesn’t guarantee it though.
You wouldn’t know if you were in the radiation poisoning zone though.
Like you’ve almost certainly been irradiated but, enough that you’ll die a horrible death in 5 days? Or merely enough to increase your risk of cancer in 40 years?
If you go close enough to ground zero, that should speed up the process a bit.
Yes but my point is, most people are somewhere in between those extremes, and you won’t really know which end you’re nearest to.
Find your iodine tablets
And Prussian blue!
Huh til
Uh the vaporization is over by the time you see the cloud.
😎
You’re right, I hadn’t considered that.
If you can see the cloud, you’re outside the vaporization zone. And the only thing you’ll accomplish is walking deeper into the radioactive zone. Kind of sounds like you’re taking what appears to be 70 plus percent survival chances and turning them into 0% survival chances.
I think that was literally the idea
Wait, you guys want to survive it?
I down to see the mutants, the zombies, the hot rod racing war bands, the increasingly intelligent apes. But if it just ends up being cancer and eating rats… meh, I’ll bail.
‘Barefoot Gen’ makes it look quite ugly. And it was apparently written by a survivor of the Hiroshima bombing.
Good question. I think it is if you are in the blast zone
