Just to let y'all know, if there were a Nuclear Explosion/Meltdown at a power plant, the athorities would evacuate an area much larger than the actual downwind hazard just as a precaution. Also, if there were anything like this to happen in the SouthEast region, my shop at Robins AFB would be responding with all of our monitoring equipment and going into the hotzone. We would also be the ones telling the local athorities the true evacuation areas. Another note - If you're close enough to feel the shockwave, you're more than likely dead, lol.
True. How long would that take though? I can't depend on the government to save me. It could be hours or days or even weeks before they get to me. When they do pick me up.... I plan to be suited up, pilled up and drunk off red wine when they finally do come get me
