To: Never on my watch
I was six miles away and felt the blast as if I was hit by a linebacker.

Wow, that's incredible. Were you outside? I'm curious about the actual physical experience six miles out. What must you have thought the instant it happened?

I was actually inside my house. But I sonic booms from aircraft feel similar depending how close you are.

Upon reflection, the linebacker analogy was an exageration. A shockwave from a close sonic boom would be better. But the differece was that a shockwave seems to go BOoooommm, this felt like BOOM then silence.

I just remember saying “WHAT THE F^<K WAS THAT!” Then I rmembered that my mother was visiting.
