Back in the boy scouts we had the survival merit badge, and the atomic energy badge - but the two didn't over lap. Now that I think about it, the book I got was so old it still used REMs and Rads rather than Siverts and Greys... But thats off tangent.
Lets see - A-bombs more or less have concentric zones of destruction - the epicenter being where everything gets vaporized. Then its something like crushed/heavy damage, fires, irritated, ok. Since the structure is standing and I don't smell smoke, which would argue we're far away - but that creepy shadow would argue otherwise.
We seem safe enough for now I think, and even if we weren't, traveling though the city while its still dark strikes me as a bad idea. Bur the first rain is going to wash a hell of a lot of fallout from the sky and we probably don't want to be caught in that, or anywhere downwind of where the bomb went off. So in the morning things might look a little bit different.
Since we're not about to fall asleep again - we'd better figure out what we've go to work with here. Water and sealed food is good of course. Some bottles of the highest proof this place has got for either trade or use as an antiseptic if we find any injured survivors, there is probably a first aid kit behind the bar and something that will make a decent walking stick since the buses probably aren't running.
