They implied those things would stop a nuclear blast to us. Duck and Cover.

It wouldn't stop a direct nuclear strike of course, but it would help protect you from falling debris, broken glass, and flash burn/blindness if you were some miles from the impact.

Grew up in tornado alley. We did the same drills for tornadoes. Then the one day we were at school for a tornado watch, they closed early, called our folks to come pick us up and had us wait outside for them.

It was never meant to save you from the blast. It was meant to save you from the concrete slab of the roof crushing you when the pressure wave rolls over the building and collapses it. That way if you're lucky, someone can dig you out.
