There is a missile or a few on its way to NYC… what would you do? Even more so, what precautions are you taking *NOW* for WW3, which by the way, is at our doorstep?

Unless you have a house in mid west somewhere I wouldn't worry about it. Prey you go out quick, death from radiation is a slow and miserable from what I hear.

I’d get on my jetski, shoot to tottenville, pick up my kids, get back to NJ and hunker down. I don’t care about NYC except for them.

Your 16 lb brisket will be done by the time you get back. Usually a 12-16 hour cook at 225F, slow smoking method.

If it's just a missile or a few I don't think they would land anywhere near Tottenville. Unless they are aiming for the Conference House.

I’d hope not, but I’d still want them out of the city so we could start moving south as soon as necessary.

I wouldn't change anything. I live my life moment to moment. Come what may, good, bad or in-between.

I'd call my mom. No getting away from it, and radiation doesn't respect state lines.

You're thinking of a nuclear bomb. I think missiles are basically flying regular bombs.

If you think you can get in your car and drive off you are insane. Traffic would be so bad you wouldn't be able to even get on the highway.
Unless you get a 24 hr head start, better stock up in booze.
People in NJ might get a better chance, Westchester too.
Anyone in NYC and LI is toast.
