So this sent me to look up what is the instant death radius of a nuclear bomb. It depends on the size of the bomb of course, but within 3km, very likely to be dead, up to 8km, 50% chance of dead. Survival is possible if you are in some kind of bunker or heavily sheltered concrete building. But I don’t know if those numbers include death from chunk of concrete falling on head or just radiation. Beyond 8km will be some death dependant on exposure. So being past the 8kms and in a basic brick veneer house, I would likely die a slow death with my skin peeling off. Would probably eat and drink the nicest things I could find try for the first few days before symptoms set in properly, drive to a lovely location in nature, and then find a way to exit before it became unbearable.

I’m 500 meters away. I am very possibly dead
( your car’s electronics will be cooked, you won’t be driving anywhere.
Hmm good point. Death at home it is then.
yeah nah, this house was built in the 60’s. The power of lead paint protects me
