Say I'm driving, see a 'bright sky' but no plume etc, no noise, just the sky brightening, how close would the probable detonation be?

Depends upon the yield of the weapon and time of day. Nevada night tests had the flash observed in Los Vegas. If it is noticable, go back to the 60's drill of drop immediately since you are probably close.

Exactly what I just got done telling my kids, because lets face it, us as parents that is our worse nightmare NOT to be with them should this happen!

I knew it would be close in my scenario and frankly I am asking for a specific reason. I just sensed it wasn't close enough to immediately incinerate us and I honestly wanted to know the odds of survival and what to do.
