This reminds me of when I was a kid living in a small town near the Mojave desert in SoCal when they still tested in Nevada. They would announce a pending test over the news a day or two ahead of time. On the morning of the test I would go out & set on the front lawn & look to the east. Usually around 6 in the morning the device would go off. I can still remember the thunder-like clap, but it was much sharper & more stoccato (sp. ?) Over the years I've had the dreadful thought that we would hear those from really far away as they took out cities.
