Totally
Last Friday of every month the air-raid sirens would go off and we'd do "duck and cover" drills in school. Fucking terrifying. Living in Washington DC we were repeatedly told that we'd have nothing to worry about - when the nukes fell, there'd be a bright flash and then POOF we're vaporized. When "The Day After" aired on television I couldn't sleep for fear of the Ruskies lobbing thier nukes at us.
