Flash of Light and Shockwave in Detroit are

[freedomson]

At about 8:20 pm Tuesday January 16, 2018 Did any of you Detroit freepers see that flash of light followed about two minutes later with a window rattling shockwave?

Reading stories like this world wide. I think we are testing new spy bird from skunk works.

Nope, upstate NY through age 14, then Missouri for seven years, then California thereafter. I took the old Horace Greeley admonition to heart. ;>)

It must be all those red lights going off above the Red Wings’ goal.

"Berlin is a shell of a city. I think how easily it would be for Detroit, New York, or any U.S. city to look the same way..."

In 1948, Mr. Halvorsen clearly did not have an appreciation for the destructive power of the Democrat Party. It far exceeded the 8th Air Force.

HA! Perfect analogy, East Berlin was also run by commies.

Sound travels about 12 miles in a minute. That would place the flash 24 miles from you. That would be a VERY loud bang.

I don’t think that you would be able to post it anywhere. In fact I don’t think you would even be alive to post it anywhere.

I’m guessing it’s the missile that missed Hawaii

[dglang]

Rocket man playing with his missiles?

We call that sarcasm, here.

If Detroit were nuked, how would you know?

You would see a flash of light, and about 2 minutes later you would feel the shockwave.

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

That's a good one. As usual.

Both my wife & I heard and felt the boom. I thought lightning at first then natgas explosion about 1/4 to 1 mile away. We're in Garden City about 5 miles north of Metro Airport. Sonic Boom for sure.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Wow. That’s a huge fireball. That is pretty rare and lucky to be able to see.

I’m surprised It took 43 posts to get to Giorgio.

Whoa! Story's not over. Road block near Gran Deux Cite with motorists told "No Cameras ‎- pas de caméras".

[Songcraft]

Yep, Hawaii was sending that baby back where it came from (the bad side of Detroit).

Trumps fault upsetting the heavens sending a meteorite only to Detroit.
