My phone is usually dead, misplaced, or the volume is at 0%. So I would probably crack a beer and stand on the porch wondering why the neighbors are freaking out.

You will likely still hear the cell broadcast. Alerts of this level make every phone give off a piercing sound and even if your phone is dead, you will hear it from your neighbours' because it's loud.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 9 points 6 days ago

If you have a good emergency infrastructure in your country, the volume being at 0% should not be an issue.

I will do the following:

Duck and cover

I'd be setting off the pair of sirens I own, then awaiting the inevitable. Thankfully I live in an area where the chance of being vaporized is quite high.

I live with my mom and my wife 40 mins from the vancouver city centre… Honestly I’d probably go sit with my wife, kiss them ‘n hope for the best.

Also sobbing, that too. Can’t forget that.

Assuming it's nuclear, sit around and mourn the fact I don't have a basement. Hope that either A: missle defence works, or B: I'm in the evaporation zone. Radiation sickness sounds awful.

Even if the explosion and fallout completely missed my area, I think EMP disruption would be a huge issue and lots of people would be panicking, stealing, murdering trying to survive.

I would not believe that message, because real warnings would not be that specific around here, and they also would never add that funny phrase " this is not a drill"

(Actual drills outside of the military are announced at least several days in advance, if they expect people to cooperate)

Seek immediate shelter, probably. And wonder why someone would send a ballistic missile to New Hampshire.

[-] steeznson@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

I'm all prepared to host a NYE party so would probably be like the This is the End frat pack movie.

[-] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I'm going to get some beer and weed and enjoy the rest of my day.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

I guess I'd seek shelter 🤷‍♂️

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

I'd either go take a nap, or go hide in my basement. Not sure which.

Immediately get in my car and drive like a bat out of hell out of my city. It’s small but it’s for sure a nuclear target

[-] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Same but towards the blast. I've seen Threads, I ain't hanging around for that shit.

This is how this situation was depicted in a made for TV movie on NBC. https://youtu.be/n28NoLNarNs?si=DHOgJqb1QWzulkqg

Not realistic. It supposedly 1983 but they refer to USSR as Russia. Dissolution wasn't until 1991. Literally unwatchable.

[-] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

The way they depict the almost autonomous responses of those in charges of firing the nukes is unnerving.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

Sweden, costal village north of Stockholm.

If a missile is on it's way, I'd send a text to my near and dear with a quick "missile incomming, love you, if I don't make it, you can have X".

Then go to bed in my walk in closet.

I live alone in my flat, top floor, no proper shelter in my general area.
