Explosion Photo.
Explosion is about 180 pixels.
How may feet or yards to a pixel.
Note shawdow line of what I think are trees. Guess explosion fire ball was about 150 to 250 yards max.

Is zoom changing?????

Could be less, about or just under 100 yards. It's hard to tell. How close is the visible tree line to the explosion, next to or a distant ridge. But even at a distance it is still a way of guessing the width of the explosion. I guessed the little ridges are trees and guess a 40 foot wide tree was 6 pixels or a yard to a pixel. But munition gives less than a yard per pixel. So it's a wag or fudge and I don't believe any trees were damaged at 1/2 mile or maybe even a 1/3 to 1/4. Building within 1/3 to a 1/4 is a different thing. I don't know.
