Using the tool Nukemap linked in the article has completely ruined my day.

Yes, it makes perfect sense now, but after looking at the different radius's I will not run to the window when I hear blasts.

  The lethal effects of the blast travel faster than the speed of sound [1], so, once you've heard it, I'm afraid, it's already too late. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_nuclear_explosions https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_nuclear_explosion...

    Well, not quite lethal or "too late". https://senseis.xmp.net/?AtomicBombGame https://senseis.xmp.net/?AtomicBombGame > The blast from the atomic bomb "Little Boy" above Hiroshima interrupted the game in its third day. It came at 8.15 am and at a point where the players had replayed the position - but had not yet started the game again. There were injuries to some of those there caused by flying glass, and damage to the building. Hashimoto was blown off his feet. The game wasn't resumed until after lunch. The game was then played to a conclusion, Hashimoto winning by five points with White (there was no komi). This tied the match 1-1. -------- So we know what to do when a nuclear weapon goes off. You get knocked off your feat, wonder wtf is going on. Then you reset the gameboard and play your next move.

    Which begs the question, will you ever hear it? If a nuke goes off with nobody around, is there a sound?

  It's more that you shouldn't run to the window when you see the incredibly bright flash outside.

I came across the tool when calculating blast radius of re-entry vehicles carrying nuclear war heads launched in the previous season on Fear The Walking Dead to see how realistic it was.
