It depends on so many weather factors and where the strike is plus what type of missile.

I suppose you need to get as far away from the epicenter as possible, and major cities and military installations. @ravenwind43

@Carissimi if you aren't in the blast zone or general area from that then it comes down to wind patterns and how distilled the radiation is over the water. You could have pockets of highly radiated areas and then largely unaffected areas.
