Good plan, stick to familiar routines.
This is the first time I've actually laughed out loud at a comment here in a while.

As for the OP, when I was 19 I was the news director at a small radio farm in the middle of nowhere in Indiana. The owner's wife called a meeting and wanted to know our plans if the radio station got hit with a nuclear bomb. I asked if she meant Indianapolis (we were about two hours south), but she said that she meant the station itself. She claimed "they" will want to take out communications facilities with the first strike.

So I'll tell you the same thing I told her - my plan if I get hit with a nuclear weapon is to turn into a bunch of radioactive particles.

If I somehow survived your scenario, which given where I live, I wouldn't, I guess I'd try and head down to the Gulf Coast where I've got family with enough land to support us all, assuming they aren't also dead.

I would bust out my finest beers and drink up with a fat cigar too.

Then I guess fuck like bunnies until we're dead.

Grab passports, hop in the car, go to Canada and stay there. No more USA for me if it gets itself into a nuclear war.

Realistically though, 3000 nukes would kill the entire planet and you don't have four hours, you have under one hour.

Actually an estimated 100-300 nukes would destroy all humanity, so in this scenario there is ten times that number raining down on just the U.S. There is no leaving for any where else or any chance of survival.

Get slightly concerned about how the areas surrounding NK is going to recover from all the radiation it's about to receive

She had some mental health issues. She wanted to turn our most popular station, oldies, into a station that just played commercials. Her thought was that you'd listen to the station when you needed something, waiting for the relevant commercial to play. She made our jobs 10x harder, but I felt bad for her, she was a sweet lady.

OK. Imagine Trump in his bathrobe screaming at his generals to strike NK We do, but we underestimated NKs nuclear arsenal. Instead of just having 1-2 nukes they have thousands. All capable of hitting America. So, Kim's like FU America and launches 3000 nukes at the USA.

You're home with your wife, kids and the nuke alarm goes off. Or, maybe you're home alone watching Netflix. TV stations are abuzz with the horrifying images of the Korean war. You have 4 hours left before the first nukes start dropping. What do you do!? What do you do?
Just read The Road (Cormac McCarthy); it's full of many lighthearted ways to deal with such an event.

The great thing about nukes is that a war with them would be so devastating on both sides that no one (except of course the U.S. with no fear of a nuclear reprisal) would use them despite any blustery leaders' words. Such good words! So much winning!

If the bombs start dropping, I hear that thoughts and prayers work wonders (as well as a lead-lined bomb shelter, but you'll have to stay in it for a few lifetimes).

Considering I'm sitting right between NYC and the Groton sub-base (two likely targets after DC) I think my best course of action would be to put my head between my legs to kiss my ass goodbye!
