The official version:

“Nuclear Blasts in Mississippi

Stephen Cresswell

“At 10:00 a.m. on October 22, 1964, the United States government detonated an underground nuclear device in Lamar County, in south Mississippi. Residents there felt three separate shocks, and watched as the soil rose and behaved like ocean waves. Hunting dogs howled in terror, and two miles from the test site the blast shook pecans off the pecan trees. This nuclear test, and the one that followed two years later at the same Mississippi site, were the only nuclear explosions on U.S. soil east of the Rocky Mountain states...Most residents later reported that the shock of the explosion was much stronger than they had been led to believe. “

I thought the post was saying it was an a above-ground detonation.

You all may find this interesting...

Watch the following video. It's about 20 minutes long. Makes one wonder why California doesn't glow in the dark, and why any of us are alive.
