I used to live about three miles from Camp David. I figured I’d either be killed immediately or inside a defensive perimeter in the event of a war.
Comment on What do to if I survive a nuclear blast in my city?

Large bridges, airports, urban areas, any military installations, dams/hydroelectric, power plants, major train hubs, etc. are all targets in all-out nuclear war. You’ll need to actually think of how many things are targets and plot what not to be near.
Either way, all-out war would fuck the planet and probably set us back a century at best. If China survived they’d be the global power as they have the resources and manufacturing that the rest of the world has mostly given up, the rest would be completely decimated.

Is there even any nukeing the airport? Damage to the runway plus the EMP generated would probably prevent aircraft from taking off.

turns out that flat strips of concrete firmly attached to ground are pretty hard to damage

I just assumed they would want to hit major infrastructure like airports, depots and such. Now my new fear is they don't nuke the airport at all. Im like at 3rd degree awefulness distance.

airstrips longer than 1600m (iirc) were at some point designated as strategic targets by soviets, so you assumed correctly
