Not sure how much an overseas blast would effect us, but I would bet multiple blasts would. Again, its been awhile since I did the research.
If there were multiple nuclear blasts overseas, I'd at least want to store up some water and iodine, just in case the wind dumps a particularly large dose on your region.
