Well, someone will be selling t-shirts on the corner with “I survived the missle scare of 2018”

Or selling surf boards painted like missles.

Am I the only one who wonders if this maybe wasn't an accident? Maybe they did get a real warning or it got shot down or didnt make it.... just saying :-)

Carry on

Is there a resource for locating the nearest nuke/bomb/fallout shelter in a given state for those that don’t have one of there own? What would the members here do if this same message had been sent to them yesterday here in CO?

Personally had I been home I would have gotten in the basement with the wife and kids. Not really any time to go anywhere and at least we’d be together.

I wouldn’t want to be on any city road, highway, or interstate if I could help it, If I was I would attempt to find the sturdiest concrete structure nearby and get into/under it.

If I would have been at work I would walk the 1/4 mile to the nuke shelter, praying it was a false alarm the entire time and try and get through to my wife via call or text.

At home: Not many options up here. Just try to get in touch with close family, tell them I loved them, and pray for the best. Then crack open a beer and hope to see a cool light show before being vaporized.

At work: Good question. Evacuate the casino. Gaming would need to stop so employees could go to one of the shelter areas. This is a good thought experiment and not one of the many covered in training. It's weird that I thought of the business end of things first. But as we saw, it could be a false alarm. CYA, even if you might be dead in a few minutes. LOL

Am I wrong for immediately wondering if it was hacked and the “accident” claims are just gov trying to CYA?

At my age I don't think I'd panic and probaly wouldn't consider surviving a nuclear attack. Say a prayer for humanity and relax.

Likewise.
Hope our daughter was doing what she could in the hills of CA, then break out the smoker and grill. Cook or smoke all perishable food, then PARTY TIME.

When the roulette wheel of life picks your number.
Doesn't matter if you're between business meetings or your significant others legs . Your done.

Some good info here. Basically shelter in place (see diagram). Radiation won't be nearly as bad if it's an aerial detonation. Don't waste money on potassium iodide pills.
