If it is an ICBM strike then in all likelyhood there would be many more than the one cloud seen as the enemy would likely be striking military facilities as well. There would also probably be some indication in the news that tensions were running high with another major power. With only one cloud the terrorist or accident theory have stronger likelyhood. With either the terrorist or accident theory then in all likelyhood there is only one or a very small number of cities hit at once and most of the rest of the country wouldn't be in a post apololyptic scenario yet. If the concearn is about the actual enemies knowing about Jericho then I don't buy it at all.See above. My question is what "Enemy" are they trying to keep secret from? Without more mushroom clouds I doubt that the US is some post-apocalyptic nightmare or that there are Russian/Chinese/Alien troops running all around Kansas.CB radio/Shortwave radio. The other means of communication are probably down with the power. It looks like a pretty big town though so someone will likely make a drive sooner rather than later. There would also likely be a minor exodus and influx as people try to leave to get to relatives and the surrounding farmers all come into town to see what is going on. Sure why not. Its not like Denver isn't upwind anyway and anything radioactive in that cloud will be heading right to Jericho. If radiation is a concearn the best bet would be to drive north or south depending on the wind direction. Maybe head down to Oklahoma City (about the same distance) and see what is going on. If all the cities are hit then pool the gas and cars and convoy up to Canada since it won't be long until Jericho is just as contaminated as everything else.  See above. OK heading to Denver is a bad idea but what about heading to Oklahoma City, Witchita, Omaha, Kansas City all of which are away from Denver. As above, if Denver is a radioactive wateland then Jericho won't be much longer with the winds heading from west to east. The longer you stay and decide what to do the more radiation you will get. My guess would be that with only one cloud seen it is limited in nature and heading north or south as soon as possible would be a good idea. If it is nukes all across America it doesn't much matter as it is now radioactive-postapocolyptic endgame anyway and pretty much everyone is screwed no matter where you are.The way I see it is that this is trying to be another Lost with drama and unsolved mysteries. However right now I can see too many holes in just the preview to really be interested. Oh and if it/they are not nukes but some non-radioactive super science bombs then I am out as well.</blockquote>
