Wasn't a common belief back then that covering you mouth and eyes and not exposing skin was enough to stop radiation? Not by scientists obviously, but by regular people?
I saw a documentation once about how old films taught how to react to a nuclear bomb. The slogan was "If you see the flash: duck and cover!". Under your table at school or next to a curbstone. So yeah, there sure was a time when no one knew how to react (not that you could in a useful way).

(The (badass) mouse got to live, because my cat was way under-leveled to deal with that one)

Nice special needs cat.

Don't project your poo poo on my (awesome) cat! It is one of the least killed-by-a-car-cats I ever had!
