    If the clouds smaller than your thumb head for the hills. If it’s bigger than your thumb don’t bother running at all.

    I always thought that was funny. Don’t look at the flash. Also, the Flash is the first thing that’s going to alert you to nuclear explosion. LMAO. I can already hear the VA after the first nuke gets used in war. “We have deemed your eye injury non compensable because you were trained not to look at the flash.”

      You might see a meteoric fireball or three streaking towards the center of the city or airbase as the hypersonic MIRVs descend.

      In general its best not to look at any meteor-looking things, as even natural meteors can explode in the atmosphere with a bright harmful flash (and produce a shockwav

        There is not a lot you could do about not looking at the initial flash.

        Either you looked at it when it happened or you didn’t. Unless you could predict when it would happen of course.

    I mean, “avoid” HAS always been and always WILL be the best thing to do about anything involving nuclear weapons, so… 🤷
