I live about 20 miles south of barksdale AFB. I would be toast.

I went to HS about 25 miles west of Barksdale and we had a crazy chemistry teacher that spent a long time teaching us what to if Barksdale got hit. Basically his strategy was to grab canned food, uncarbonated beverages, a gun with ammo, large plastic trash bags...then head to the nearest culvert running north and south, since the blast would be coming from the east. Get in it, cover yourself with the bags, shoot anyone that tried to get in there with you, stay as long as you could with the rations you brought, and always save 1 bullet for yourself if needed.

They don't make teachers like that anymore.
