Curious you should say that. "Japanese Polearm" is my code name to get into the basement.  ::)

In Oklahoma in the 70s, it was a little ambiguous.  Bomb drills and tornado drills were pretty much identical.  As I think about it, I suspect that the tornado winds picking those little desks up would have made an elementary school classroom about the last place you'd want to be in a tornado.

FWIW, there was a false alarm (meaning it was accidentally triggered and there was no "This is only a drill" warning) for a nuclear attack in Hawaii 3 or 4 years ago.  Some friends of mine were on vacation there with their 3 young daughters when it happened.

not to be a downer about the psa but.....
the last time I read into targeting options, NYC would be getting hit with at least 20 to 25 warheads in a grid pattern.
theres no getting inside.  the one mushroom cloud per city is media bs.

You're not being a downer, but a realist. 

But yeah, I highly doubt that there would be any buildings left to run to.  Now if someone is well outside the blast radius then yes, you want to get inside to at least survive the blast.

I remember that.

I also remember when Reagan said this...

Good thing the joke bombed but not the country.  :hide:

I thought I remembered that Hawaii red alert being due to the Norks testing long-range missiles in their direction?

Nope.  It was just a mistake on the part of one of their municipal employees somewhere.

Good thing they didn't send in the Marines.  Don't want to tip over any more Pacific islands.

^Yes FarAway is right. A gov't worker (not sure if Hawaii or federal) simply pressed the wrong button that set off the Hawaii false alarm. Scary.

I would put a cover over that button. And a solid steel cage. And then park an M-1 Abrahms tank on top of it.

The tank may set it off.

In that case, the tank can be used as a Fallout Shelter.  O0

Fortunately for us, Hawaii doesn't have its own nuclear arsenal...

I've heard rumors that the Jewish Space Lasers we were talking about on the Ukraine thread might have their control center deep in a volcano on the Big Island, but I don't think that's been confirmed.  Damned lava really masks IR signatures!
