Scary for you? We were pretty close! They announced over the PA system at school (high school, where I was at the time) that we were not to go outside between classes and not to linger outside at the end of the day waiting for the bus. Science teachers brought out their geiger counters and explained radiation and why it was hard to measure simple background radiation.
I remember two kids running outside across the campus between classes, and everyone saying how dumb they were. Despite the usual generational love of fear and danger, extreme peer pressures, etc. Almost everyone understood that this was different.
