Just put your thumb up. If your thumb covers the mushroom cloud, you're outside the kill zone. If it doesn't... oh well.

If it doesn't, you'll watch your thumb disintegrate shortly before the rest of you does?

That is a neat tool. In my civilian line of work I am an security officer at a nuclear power plant. We get to learn about all of these fun things. I also learned if one went off I am pretty much screwed since my house is so close.

Does it take into account wind speed/direction at the site and calculate downwind hazard of the fallout?

Yes. There is a fallout box to check. That gives you a wind sock icon you can drag to show wind direction.
