And a nuclear strike against the United States would not just include the continental United States - It would include the Pacific Fleet at Hawaii, Diego Garcia, Japan, and any country the US and NATO has troops. (That's a long list of targets.)
Once a single nuke lets loose, it's game over. There won't be any place to hide.

I'm not assuming anything and certainly not 1 nuke on one city. I'm going on well-documented info. You're going on a Hollywood movie version on nuclear weapons. The fallout radius is an important factor in the design of current devices, half-life etc. The fact is nukes are now designed to minimize fallout. Not to mention designed as1 Mt.
