Thats because there is basically nothing you can do.

That's not exactly true, there are various types of shelter that are effective in a nuclear attack. A deep ditch can mean the difference between life and death, tall structures are not a good idea but a well built low concrete or brick building would be survivable outside a certain distance from ground zero. A Brinks armoured car would be decent as well.

Sorry having trouble getting my thoughts out. I meant that any similar vehicle would do, even if you put it between you and the rads/blast. A tractor trailer cab for example as long as you where bhind the engine.

I'd be worried about the blast flipping the truck or collapsing a wall. I'd go for the ditch if any. I live close to a river. Helps with the heat to.

There's really no gaurantee, seeing as your not likely to know where it's hitting or the yeild. A ditch or basement would be my top choices.

The real problem in that kind of situation is that even if you survive in a shelter sufficient to protect you from the direct blast and even the fallout, you have to basically hide for two, four weeks or more. Most people don't have ANYWHERE near that much food or most importantly water stored around to last that long without coming out.
