I also don't understand why Americans (people of a rich country) live in paper houses, especially if that's a dangerous zone. Why don't they use concrete? A typical house here can stand a nuclear blast actually. The first one on the front line will be smashed, the second one behind it will be seriously destroyed, but the 3rd one will stay. Also (just as a side effect) a single massive wall decreases the x-ray radiation in 10x-20x times. Two walls will decrease it twice more. And the reinforced concrete doesn't burn too...
These houses can stand -40C and nobody will be hurt here like in
this movie. A usual winter temperature in my region is -10C..-20C (sometimes -30C) and... I have windows opened and wear shorts only (I don't even wear a t-shirt), because it's always +25C inside.
