Depends a lot on the bomb. The nukes dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki (fission bombs of about 20 kilotons in power) were firecrackers compared to some of the ones tested by the US and Soviets during the Cold War.
When you hear hydrogen, thermonuclear, or fusion bomb (all different names for the same type of bomb), those are nukes with the really devastating power that’s commonly measured in megatons. The Tsar Bomb that someone mentioned earlier was a hydrogen bomb.

You should be fine if you’re vaccinated and wear a mask

Surely we can just use our Covid mask. If it can prevent the microscopic particles that carry the virus, Shirley, it can prevent radio active material from impacting us.

Pretty interesting map.
However, should attacks ever take place here, I often wondered the impact of a foreign enemy blowing up Mississippi River levees along the major cities — Minneapolis, St. Louis, New Orleans, Memphis and so on.
The flooding would be devastating, it would halt substantial commerce and movement of goods, and severely inhibit other methods of travel. Approximately 15,000,000 - 20,000,000 get their drinking water from the Mississippi as well.
It appears to be an relatively simple way to inflict substantial damage and crutch the US.

Tsar Bomba was 60 years ago. Modern ones could be much more powerful. Hopefully we never see the new capabilities.
Bombs are actually less powerful now. In the early days, accuracy was a problem, so to make up for it, we built a bigger bomb. Now the yield can be much smaller, as we can pinpoint target. I believe the largest bomb ever in US service was 25 megatons. Currently, the largest is just a couple of megatons I believe. The warheads on the Minuteman ICBMs are around 330 kilotons.
With that said, the Russians do still use larger weapons than the US, as their targeting is not as sophisticated.

Some survived direct impact in Japan.
So...
The bombs dropped on Japan were in the 15 to 20 kiloton range. Today, bombs those size are considered tactical, not strategic. Anything dropped on a city today would likely be several hundred times more powerful, thus greatly reducing the chance of survival at ground zero.

In a full scale exchange I would want to be directly underneath one.
I was a teen in the 80s and had a HS teacher always said if they drop the bomb on us he wants to try to catch it.
