If you're my family, sleep through it while I frantically close windows because I didn't know what else to do. Most Hawaii homes have no basements usually, so its kind of just fucked

Get in the cool dirt under my house.

Why? So it can fall on you?

I feel safe in the crawlspace?

This is how this situation was depicted in a made for TV movie on NBC. https://youtu.be/n28NoLNarNs?si=DHOgJqb1QWzulkqg

Not realistic. It supposedly 1983 but they refer to USSR as Russia. Dissolution wasn't until 1991. Literally unwatchable.

The way they depict the almost autonomous responses of those in charges of firing the nukes is unnerving.

Follow the neighbours to the bunker.

Immediately get in my car and drive like a bat out of hell out of my city. It’s small but it’s for sure a nuclear target

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Same but towards the blast. I've seen Threads, I ain't hanging around for that shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

tons of people will try the same thing. Roads will be grid locked in minutes. Better to try finding shelter underground

I'd probably be safe and sound, since I'm in a small town a bit away from Melbourne, so an air strike wouldn't affect me unless they tzar bomba the shit out of Melbourne.

I will go as close as I can to the most touristy area as soon as I can in hopes I get vaporized so I don't survive the blast. If it's fake then I guess I'll go to some empty nowhereish area in a big touristy park and call 988, then go shoppin and buy some starbucks. The street vendors selling flavored honey and enamel pins and stuff probably are gone so I can't shop at their thingies otherwise I would. But honestly I'm sick of calling 988. I'm tired of fighting. Tired of trying. I'm going to have dementia in my thirties anyway might as well cut my losses.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I assume it's a mistake because I live in a small town that would never be a target.
