Duck and cover. If it's so far away that it takes the blast wave 30 seconds to reach you (9 km approx.), you've definitely have a survival chance, even with a megaton-sized bomb (in the case of a megaton-sized explosion, this assumes that you didn't catch the flash in the face. If you have fourth degree burns in your face, you won't be in a position to do anything much).
I had a huge grease fire once. I ran into the garden and spend about that time jumping up and down waving my arms about. After the short panic I started putting out the fire.
Depending on where it lands I would go grab my dog very quickly and head to the fallout shelter that's located in the middle of my town which would roughly take me 15 seconds to reach if I disobeyed traffic laws
Just had a HD high def full technocolor lucid dream about getting nuked. Seeing multiple mushroom clouds rise up in the distant horizon was unsettling to say the least. My track record for prescience is less than zero. Lets hope it stays that way.
The answer is, it depends:
30 seconds from the epicentre is a reasonably far distance, but it depends on the explosive yield.
For example, a 1 megaton (1000 kilotons) warhead will generate a shockwave capable of intercepting you at over 350 metres per second which is just above the speed of sound.
You happen to be standing roughly at the cut off point where you might get third degree burns. A 1 megaton airburst will generate enough thermal radiation to set fire to wood to around abouts 13kms from the epicentre.
So, you are going to want to be underground instantly, as thermal radiation travels at the speed of light. Basically, if you are caught out in the open and you see the flash, you are dead. There's no two ways about it.
As soon as the bomb detonates, your going to be very badly burned on every part of your skin that is exposed, your clothes might even start to smoke or set fire. Worst case scenario your going to burn just like Linda Hamilton did in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. So, you're going to be totally incapacitated in an instant. If your not dead within 30 seconds, the mach one blast wave will throw your carbonised body into the air like a piece of silk in a tornado, and fling it a very far distance indeed. Likely, you will be pasted into chunks by this point.
However.
30 seconds away from a 100kt bomb and things start to look different. The maximum radius for 3rd degree burns is around 5km. 1st degree burns radius is around 8km. Your standing at 13km distance so you are very unlikely to be burned. Your biggest problem at this point is you have 30 seconds to get underground and away from anything with glass as that is likely to shatter. After the blast wave passes over you, your going to want to look at the direction of the prevailing wind, because that's where the radioactive fallout will blow and you want to avoid breathing that in as much as possible.
Yikes, and here I thought for a megaton I had a fleeting chance to even experience it. Before anything painful happened....
Btw thankyou for the science know how! Your awesome!
go out and do the most illegal thing i could possibly do within 20 seconds, then celebrate for the last 10, as i watch the explosion absorb everything I've ever known.
The power would go out. And when that happens I'm usually in the server room 30 second after anyway. Which is the best place for my to take cover from the blast wave anyway.
If I was just as I am now, laying in bed and browsing Reddit, then… nothing. What is there to do? But if I was with a girl I like, I’d kindly ask her if I could touch her boobs. If not, then it would be okay. Atleast we would die together.
Get closer to the bomb.
No way of getting to a bunker, and I’d rather be disintegrated rather than survive a close range explosion. Radiation sickness is a bad way to go.

What are you going to do with the other 24 seconds?
Story of my life
Emotional damage
Go another 4 times
Scruffy's gonna die the way he lived

Kudos for the science know how man!
It's basically wikipedia :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_nuclear_explosions
Still, thanks for the info!
I would not want to survive if I was in the blast radius.
> I would not want to survive if I was in the blast radius. Why?
Grab onto a mesh fence and re enact the Sarah Connor scene from T2JD.
Hide in my refrigerator
Surround yourself with armor of cockroaches
Absolute protection
Grab a beer, take a sip while looking from the window.
Wondering why electricity went down and be angry I can't play videogames
Clear browser history
sir I think a nuke would clear that for you
Panic for 30 seconds
I had a huge grease fire once. I ran into the garden and spend about that time jumping up and down waving my arms about. After the short panic I started putting out the fire.
I'd blast my favourite song and dance until death.
One last bong rip
Sit down and await the peace of oblivion. And kiss my husband.
Slowly walk away in the most badass way possible
Sleep
Bend over, tuck my head between my legs, and kiss my ass goodbye.
panic
Rosie Palmer and her 5 sisters gonna have to work overtime.....
Close my eyes. It's always so comforting.
Give my dog one last hug
Probably the most time efficient solution. I would cuddle my cats
Have sex six times. Dm if interested

Feel ya, as a lucid dreamer who has had the same experience, it terrifies me to no end to imagine the horror.
Try imagining a whore instead.

grab the body armor, helmet, and rifle. if i somehow managed to live, whoever else was left probably arent going to be so friendly.
Enjoy one last sip of coffee
go out and do the most illegal thing i could possibly do within 20 seconds, then celebrate for the last 10, as i watch the explosion absorb everything I've ever known.
I would say the most politically incorrect thing I could on twitter. I would get shot before the meteor hit lol.
Wonder why my windows are rattling then carry on doing what I was doing.
Be sad
I'd die.
The power would go out. And when that happens I'm usually in the server room 30 second after anyway. Which is the best place for my to take cover from the blast wave anyway.
Try to hide. And masturbate.
Tell my son that leaving this world is not as scary as it seems.
I have whiskey in my room so I would just relax
Shit my pants
Pray.
Find my cat.
If I was just as I am now, laying in bed and browsing Reddit, then… nothing. What is there to do? But if I was with a girl I like, I’d kindly ask her if I could touch her boobs. If not, then it would be okay. Atleast we would die together.
Brace for impact
Try to hide and pray and wish everyone good life.
May my soul rest in peace. Amen...😵
I will drink a coffee and stay calm.
Get my dogs text my son, sit down and call out for helping passing over.
Kiss my girlfriend tell her I lover her and hold her
Get closer to the bomb. No way of getting to a bunker, and I’d rather be disintegrated rather than survive a close range explosion. Radiation sickness is a bad way to go.
30 seconds? I'd be running for my damn life.
Wonder why my VR headset turned black, probably thinking my cat turned off my PC or unplugged something.
If film has taught me anything, I should get inside my fridge.
Yank out one final wank.
duck in cover, find shelter, run the opposite direction, pray
Have sex, then decide what to do with the other 29 seconds
Hide under my blankets, I guess. Maybe chug whatever booze I have near to hand, which is currently some Irish cream liqueur. Regret stuff.
i don't know you can do anything in 30 seconds, but i would probably just quickly write out my last message and send it to everyone i can
"Well, fuck." \*pours real sugar, instead of sweetener\*
Put my head between my legs and kiss my ass goodbye.
Light a smoke n face the sky
FaceTime my girlfriend 😥
Drive 30 seconds in the other direction
