Hey Bob, back in the late 1950s, my Dad built missile bases at Fort Bragg and White Sands. I got to see two nuclear explosions and there is nothing like it! That flash of white, white light is unbelievable!

My former mother-in-law was brought up in Las Vegas, Nevada. She told me about how they used to watch the mushroom clouds going up and how you could feel the ground shake now and then from the tests. She had some pictures that she (or her mother) had taken of the clouds rising up in the distance - even had a postcard of tourists sitting on a hotel rooftop with a mushroom cloud going up in the distance.
