yep.... the university changed its mental health policy and now they accept off-campus students.

gee :roll: they should have done this long time ago since majority of VT students live off-campus after freshman year.
 
You gotta love the 60's. June and Ward acting as though it's just another day in the life. That is back when they would have drills at schools and tell the kids to hide under their desks. As if that will help save you.

How long was the blackout?

It depended on the area. Some as quickly as 5 1/2 hours, some not until the next day. It came back on in sections, at different times.

Did you read how the people coped?

That is not necessiarly true. Nuclear fallout can reach much further out than ground zero. It depends on the payload and magnituted of the bomb.

I didn't say that there would be no fallout. I said it could be survivable.

After NORAD picks up the missile it has to notify the White House. Then, IF the President says OK, they can notify Homeland Security to make a TV announcement.

Since there is about a 10-minute warning for an off-shore submarine attack, and a 30-minute warning for a missile coming over the North Pole from China or Russia to New Jersey, then what could you do? That is, if all notifications go thru immediately, and you're watching TV at the time. You might even be in bed at the time.

-If it was a 10-min warning, me at window enjoying my last few with the last cup of coffee
-If I were in bed, I hope I don't wake up from sleep.
-If it was a 30-min warning, I'd probably do this all the way to Bear Mountain
