    It wouldn’t stop a direct nuclear strike of course, but it would help protect you from falling debris, broken glass, and flash burn/blindness if you were some miles from the impact.

      Grew up in tornado alley. We did the same drills for tornadoes. Then the one day we were at school for a tornado watch, they closed early, called our folks to come pick us up and had us wait outside for them.
