Yes - unless there are ground bursts generating fall out, and the wind is blowing in your direction.
The only way to survive fall out is to stay in a shelter with good shielding for an absolute minimum of two weeks. In an all-out war in which most cities are attacked, that could easily extend to months, or even a year.
Unless you have a Geiger counter or dosimeter you won't realise you've been irradiated, and it can take two to four weeks for a fatal dose to kill you.
For the first part of that you may well feel absolutely fine.
However, if I understand correctly, you will have a golden window of opportunity of half an hour or so while the fallout is still mostly in the air. It's probably possible to escape the fallout zone on a cycle if you start moving ASAP perpendicular to the wind direction.
Considering that there is almost zero public shelters anywhere in the western world nowadays, if a nuke goes off nearby I'd say it's a good bet you're dead even if you survive the blast.
On the contrary - if a single nuclear weapon explodes and you survive the immediate effects not too badly injured I'd say there is a very good chance that you'd survive. Of course, for an attack with thousands of weapons there would be other problems but that's not the scale of the threat to the US from NK.
why would you need public shelter? i have relatively big cellar in basement of my apartment building where I could squeeze my family, so does my mother, while my father's cellar is like 4x5m, he could stay there with many people
only when I think of my sister who built house without basement or same goes for cousin, I guess they don't stand much chance
Well, for starters, I currently live in the UK and I don't know anyone who lives in a building with a basement. They are just not very common here. And second of all - even if you do have a basement - do you have any supplies in there? Air filters? Fresh water? It's cool for a day or two, but if you have to stay there for two weeks then it's just not good enough.
