    .....in the dream I had
    i was running for a cave in the mountains.
    I saw a silver flute laying on the trail, I reached to pick it up
    and the last I remember was that as I reached for it
    everything melted into oblivion.
         and now that i understand that if a nuclear strike came from N Korea
    it would probably hit the west coast where I live, the dream
    unfortunately might have relevance in such a situation.
         oh dear...

  • Every mushroom cloud has a silver lining.

    Yes!  And if you get radiation poisoning you'll be able to taste all that metal! This post was edited by Livvie at April 19, 2017 1:36 PM MDT

  • Retreat to the underground and guard the door.

    If a person is already seeing a mushroom cloud, it's already too late to do anything. Perhaps you can kiss your own butt goodbye.

  • That's not always true.   If you can see the base of it is the more telling feature. 
    Just because you can see it on the horizon doesn't mean you were too close.   Many can throw a cloud high enough to been seen over a hundred miles.

  • Forgot to add though if you see the base of it your eyes are likely fried.

    I lived in Daytona just before the missile crisis with Cuba. We had those stupid drills. Now I would light up a bowl, have some Scotch and one last schtupp. This post was edited by Element 99 at April 19, 2017 1:41 PM MDT

  • Science has proven that wood school desks provide safe refuge an atomic blast.  They stop shrapnel, will not be moved by the blast concussion and will shield a child from intense heat.

    I live too far away from a target so hopefully I wouldn't have to see it but if it did happen I would go to my fallout shelter and live off canned food and bottled water until it's safe to come out.

    Since I live too far away from a target there wouldn't be any aftermath for me to see but the problem would be fallout so I wouldn't come out until the radiation goes down..

    I'd probably let my Generalized Anxiety Disorder finally and completely take over my mind.

    I also just thought I might think, in the voice stylings of a famous one, "that's HHOOOOGE."

    There are various suggestions out there, but I fear the only practical one is "Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye."

    I see God's kingdom finally coming to intervene and stop the madness!! "In the days of those kings the God of heaven will setup a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever." (Daniel 2:44)
