Good to know, actually. I figured you could see a nuke go off from a good distance but had no idea it would be that wide.

youre welcome.

I dont know how many of you have the experience of driving from a totally undeveloped area into a 'mega' city but I do.  driving east across I-75 into Ft Lauderdale can get weird when the radio cuts out and the horizon is glowing at night.  the first time I was like 'uhhh what?!'.  the second time I was like 'good'.
