This is what the fallout radius looks like if you drop four 9 megaton bombs on the US:

nearest to me would be the Cardiff/Bristol one. and that's nowhere near, fallout would be the problem but the predominant wind direction is AWAY from the south west.our weather comes out of the Atlantic and proceeds in a north easterly direction.
I've always reckoned in the event of any serious catastrophe, not just nuclear, that the FAR south west would be cut off from the rest of the country anyway, we often are in the first winter storms.

Found this on youtube, it's an interesting look back (1980) It mainly pertains to Britain never the less, it is interesting

Panorama - If The Bomb Drops (1980 Nuclear War episode, precursor to 'Threads')

Roughly 50:00 minutes long



Thanks for this link. Very enjoyable. Also I love the eyebrows at 5 minutes 50 seconds.
 
what I like about these older docus,is that they don't have so much sensatiolizing in them,they tend to be more "business like".
