  • A blinding flash of light.
  • A thermal pulse that chars almost anything nearby and is capable of causing fourth degree burns on human flesh (i.e., all the way to the bone).
  • A near field radiation pulse. (most people here won't have to worry about radiation, as fire or blast will kill them first)
  • Powerful blast wave.
  • Firestorm.
  • Outside blast radius, winds still strong enough to shatter windows and propel broken glass and other debris hundreds of yards from source, causing cuts and other trauma injury.
  • Minutes to hours later fallout begins descending from cap of cloud. This may cause many cases of severe radiation poisoning in otherwise uninjured people.
  • etc.

Exact details may vary from above, depending on:

  • Yield
  • Burst height/depth
  • Burst slant distance
  • Weather
  • Terrain
  • If burst is subsurface, media around burst (e.g. dirt, water, rock, concrete)
  • Construction of buildings
  • etc.

Would you want to survive a nuclear disaster?

No, I don't think I would. The radiation after the nuclear bomb went off would be extraordinary, and after living in it, it would be a painful way to die. I think I would rather be at ground zero if the nuke was to go off. No muss, no fuss, and a quick death.
