And then it got worse.

    A bigger immediate threat, but not the bigger threat. If you survive the initial blast and flash, fallout is almost certainly the biggest thing any survivors will be dealing with, outside of plenty of fires that WILL be started just by the light and radiation.

    At least as far as overtly deadly things. Of course what ever has been blown up won’t be helping, but it won’t actively hurt like fallout or fires will.

        Yea, the wind can definitely push fallout around. Though if you even have to worry about it, you’ve survived the blast. A shockwave you can see coming is going to have to nail you pretty hard to kill you. Of course a nuke can do that, but it’s also putting out insane amounts of light. If you’re openly vulnerable to the shockwave before you can react, chances are you’re already fried from the light.
