Ivy Mike: The Bomb Cloud Storm

This Isn’t a Storm… It’s a Bomb Cloud. In 1952, the U.S. detonated a 10.4

megaton nuclear bomb in the Pacific. It was called Ivy Mike — and it created a mushroom cloud

so huge… people thought it was a thunderstorm. From a distance? It looked like a

regular storm cell — But it was 10 times hotter than the surface of the sun.

The explosion vaporized the entire island. Winds hit over 500 mph. Shockwaves circled

the Earth twice. It didn’t just look like a storm… It was a manmade force of nature.

So next time you see a strange cloud in the sky… Just hope it’s not one of these.
