The shock wave passed around the world seven times. For fun, compare the Russian 60 megaton test which shockwave went around the earth three times, maybe four I think, as measured by a highly sensitive instrument at Lamont.

I'm presently watching a one hour documentary on the Three Mile Island incident. I hadn't realized how close it came to melt-down, The China Syndrome. Scary.

The Krakatoa explosion shockwaves was recorded with 1800s barometers too.....
Roughly estimated as a 150-200 megaton blast.
