I Didn't read the book, but I have the movie, scary stuff. I wonder if the fallout will drift across the globe and contaminate our farm land. I better get a few radiation detectors before hand, I remember reading how the price sky rocketed in Japan after Fukushima.

I really don’t think it would be as dire as the book makes it. The atmosphere is constantly being scrubbed by precipitation so there would be high areas of contamination(rain forests and the like) and lower areas. Not very pleasant though for all involved.
