I looked at that scale. I think it’s off. According to this 5.3 = 90KT

How many truck bombs is that 1300 KILOTONS of explosive equal to?

1.300 x 1000 = 1,300 TONS of explosives.
1300 x 2200 lbs/ton = 2,860,000 pounds of explosives ... = 72 tractor trailer rigs.

I bet it doesn't seem that way to Japan. The North Koreans have been firing off missiles their way recently too.
