If someone dies in a nuclear war, it is as likely to be here as any
other country.
I was in another group talking and pointed out, we never did those
duck and cover drills in DC. Everyone understood we might have the
sensation of heat and light for a few microseconds but there would be
no ducking and covering in DC. The blast radius from a 1 megaton
direct hit on the capitol pretty much looked like right of way for the
Beltway.

We sure did. Whiteman AFB, where my dad was stationed, was only about 25
miles from Sedalia, MO.

DC people may have just been more pragmatic. We got the mailings from
the CD people but we never did the drills in school. Everyone pretty
much assumed we were the first to go.


We did the duck and cover drills. Plans were to evacuate the East Bay via
US40. Which was San Pablo ave, a Main Street with shopping until the
carquinez bridge. And 2 lanes each way to Sacramento. Parents said to
just come home. They knew the evacuation would not succeed. Was 5
blocks to home from the school.

I don't think anyone in DC took evacuation or much of anything else
seriously. They just assumed in a nuke war we were toast.
During the Cuban Missile ****up my dad wanted us all to go to the
mountains in southern Virginia but my mom asked why bother.
