All this talk about plastic and duct tape reminds me of the poster back in the 70's. As I recall, it went something like this:

1. Turn off electricity and gas.

2. Open windows slightly.

3. Seek the most protected room in your house.

4. Loosen clothing.

5. Get under heavy desk, with your back against the wall.

6. When you see the flash, put your hands behind your head and crouch with your head between your legs.

7. Kiss your ass goodbye.
