The U.S. just went to DEFCON 4 status. Take the attack threats from North Korea VERY seriously, protect your electronics and faraday them ASAP.

What did they know back in those days?  Dig your fallout trenches in your backyards, just in case.

Remember in the event of a nuclear attack.. find a table and duck and cover.......!!  Civil defensive instructions from the cold war era.....

Good Luck To All !!
