I would add that if a car is your only option and if it still runs, you actually should get in it before the wind brings any fallout. Most modern cars have some air filtration. It's not as good as a HEPA filter, but it's better than nothing and might get you to a nearby building faster. Unlike in the movies, the EMP won't likely harm the cars computer.

- linkregister 9y agoIt seems like the article claims it's unlikely that you could outrun the wind-borne fallout.
- eveningcoffee 9y agoIf you are not already in a building then getting there by a car can be considerably faster.
- LinuxBender 9y agoThere are many factors in this, such as proximity to the blast, elevation of the nuke, surface shape and soil/sand content, wind direction, ambient temp, humidity levels, your age, your pre-existing health condition. There are way too many factors to generalize any proper response. If you are too close to the blast for the filtration in a car to be of use, you will probably be in a state of shock anyway, so just get in, drive away, go to the closest convenience store, help yourself to water, food, etc and drive away as fast as you can. Otherwise, if you are in a busy city, ya, yer pretty much out of luck. Oh and this is just a guess, but save up on bottle caps.
