Mid 1960s. I was approx. 14 or 15. Backyard barbeque in suburban Detroit area, a few miles from Great Lakes Steel in Ecorse, Mich. Next door neighbors had visitors from out of town. Just after sunset, a bright orange glow appeared in the clouds. The lady visiting freaked out. “THE RUSSIANS JUST NUKED US!!! WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!” A good laugh was had by all after my Dad and the guy next door explained about Great Lakes pouring steel.
That’s funny!
