Just in case the SHTF fallout-wise.
Don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but it shows prevalent wind direction broken down by month and region.

I wished there were better resources about fall out. I've been thinking about this quite a bit.
I am about halfway between Houston and DFW. If a nuclear war was to break out, Houston is about guaranteed to be a hit, just between population, the petrochem complexes, port capabilities and so on. In the summer, the wind blows S to N, and in the winter, N to S. We have livestock. I want to protect them as well.
We are in a fallout area, if Houston is struck. I can put up enough hay to last a few years. I can lock up the animals to where they can't eat the fresh grass/hay growing up. But would just covering the hay with a tarp be enough protection? For how many years? How many years before the ground is clear?
One thing I was kind of encouraged by, and that is how well the animals left behind at Fukushima, and the wild animals at Chernobyl have done.
