When I was a boy, a pre-teen, the man on the TV said that a nuclear test would be done in Nevada at o-dark thirty. I asked my Mother if I could watch it. So she woke me in the night and I sat on the front porch, alone, in the dark, and waited.
Suddenly, from several hundred miles away, the night sky became day. 65 or so years later I can still see it as though it was yesterday.

WOW Z! Great life experience. :bravo:

That is amazing. I can't even imagine what that would look like on the horizon....

If anyone ever goes to Vegas, the atomic testing museum, not far from the Hard Rock, is a great place to see some fantastic footage. It is small but there are lots of videos to watch.

I was out there a couple years ago. Sure wish I knew about that place. I would have surely visited it. Definitely on the list for next time.

I was alone, the family was asleep. I don't recall any discussion about it.
