They still have Patriot missile batteries.

err, aren't these designed to cripple a missile that detonates on
earth/structure impact, whereas nuclear missiles are designed to explode
a certain height in the air?

My understanding ios that patriot isn't that good. The last significant
test was when Saddam was firing missiles and it transpired that most of
the "Patriot kills" were Saddahm's selfdestructing missiles.

Suite yourself. Read "Nuclear War Survival Skills" about building a
shelter.

What does shelters have to do with dodgy interceptor results.

Many decent shelters in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, even in the
blast area, provided good protection.

Highly unlikely that we would be a ground zero, unless the guidance went
really funny, but we really need to move onto acreage. The council would
go ape shit if I plonk one in the front garden. Screwed if I'm going to
take up valuable gardening space in the back.

If we were not on clay, I wouldn't mind excavating a really deep one,
but I'm buggered if I'm going to even attempt it in clay. One trench for
water pipes was enough by hand.
