Change of underwear needed for thousands in Hawaii

They don't mean state exercise in the sense that this was planned.

They mean state exercise in incompetence.

What we need is a Dumpster-to-English translation app.

I'm putting money on SG-1 having taken down a incoming Goa'uld ship at the last minute.

There was no need for a translation. It was easily understood as it was written.

What you need to do is stop letting your hatred cloud your thinking when it comes to Trump.

Hatred of English as a First Language stupidity? Never.

It depends on the area, but if you are in the metro area you are pretty screwed anyway. Given the way modern sewers work I am pretty sure even if you survived the initial impact, which you might, you would not have any way out of the hole into an area of safety from the radiation. Being the sewer any rain or surface run off would carry the radiation right down there with you so pretty soon those tunnels would actually be your worst enemy because that is where the contamination is going to form rivers.

Being in a metro or suburban area your best bet would be to make it to a shelter before they had to close the doors. Schools and malls would be common places which might have a shelter capable of riding things out. Hotels and convention centers might also be shelters. Of course if you are that close to a blast you are probably pretty well screwed. If you are a distance out you would have more time to make a shelter before the fallout started to become a real problem. In that case taking shelter in a sewer for the initial blast should provide you enough dirt coverage to avoid initial exposure so you could make it to a shelter after the blast and before the fallout hit. It really depends on where the missile is hitting and where you are in relation to it.

Everything I have read says that in the time directly after the explosion you might have time to toss enough dirt over the holes of your basement to make a shelter and as you are digging you would want to keep the dust from settling on you with some form of sheet or and umbrellas would work also. I am not really sure how much that would actually do, but outside the initial zone of radiation exposure you would have a bit of time to make a shelter before the radiation would be gathering in the water and surface food sources. Of course that could all be just making your melting a bit slower and prolonged.

Everybody's attention properly focused now? Some of us are old enough to remember air raid drills, hiding under our desks or against the wall in the hallway, stuff like that. Yeah, the cold war was just all kinds of fun.

Someone somewhere is so so soooo fired.

Duck and Cover was only 15 years ago.

or looking to buy the world's biggest, thickest leather jacket!

I prefer Duck and Rabbit.

Depends on where you were. My school district stopped doing it by the early 1970s.

Mine stopped in the mid-80s.

We never had drills like that at all when I was in school.

I grew up in a small town, though, 60 miles from the nearest possible target which was a tertiary one at most.

Y'all don't remember it coming back after 9/11? Focus was dirty bombs not missiles. The Bush Admin put out an updated guide. You were to duct tape a garbage bag around your desk and get under it. Got the nickname Duct and Cover.

Damn those were crazy times. Remember the color coded threat system?

We had to do that. Even our teacher said there was no point as we were 3 miles from a military base and maybe 15 from a first order target to the south and 20 from a first order target to the north.

I remember duck and cover in grade school. That was back in the 1980s.

I think we know how this happened.

Some of us still have one.

what kind of hillbilly shit is that? That said it's a great strategy so the revenuers can't find your hidden whiskey still operation I guess!

We were too busy drilling for fire, earthquake, and tornado to worry about missiles.

Thinking back to 1st grade, when they lined us up in the hallways, kneeling with our heads against the walls, I'm now convinced that was just so our corpses would be in orderly rows for later recovery and ID.

Nope.

I lived in Northern California at the time, so perhaps the impact was felt a bit less on the West Coast, to the point that one of my teachers still kept teaching class as planned the day of 9/11.

Damn, the First Order was after your ass too?

And the rest of the world wonders why the safest nation on the planet pursues policies grounded in perpetual fear.

Yeah.

Schools, convention centers and malls would be the worst.

You're stuck in a shelter with hundreds of other panic stricken people who are also grieving over their families and they have various medical issues, mental issues, drug issues, or asshole issues. They are also wholly ignorant of radiation and its dangers and likely to do dumb shit like try to cut off the airflow or to panic at the first sign of radiation sickness someone has because they believe it's contagious. (it's not)

You're stuck in a shelter that might not be properly stocked or not stocked at all. A shelter with improper air circulation. A shelter that has too many people in it. A shelter where someone does have a contagious disease like the flu or something else and now it's spreading.

You're stuck depending on where you are from a few days to a month before you can even think of leaving the shelter for just a few minutes before returning to the shelter.



As for a hotel. If it has no basement than you want to get high up and in the middle of the building. Usually the emergency stairwells are in the center so that's where you'd want to be.

I wouldn't use a sewer. Simply no guarantee I could get out.
