Er... I can't recall any specific shows/movies/videogames/comics/etc that had giant mushroom clouds caused by meteor strikes. Certainly not enough to negate what I said. I understand that it can happen in real life, but in popular culture mushroom clouds almost always equal nuclear explosions (in fact, you can probably just change that to "always"), which is why I used the phrase "nuclear explosion," which is exactly what I said in my last post, so I'm having trouble understanding what this response is supposed to mean as a reply to that post.
For someone who is busy complaining about people taking him too seriously, you sure took an off-hand turn-of-phrase I used way more seriously than it needed to be taken. Since we're discussing it though; it's entirely possible that this explosion was all the meteor, but I'm leaning elsewhere. If the other meteors had the same effect, I think we'd have seen more, as they were close enough to be seen pretty clearly when they fell.

Just as a note, Andrew would be completely aware of the fact that meteors would probably cause mushroom clouds. He's a bit of a physics geek.

It was a meteor made of uranium.

Also, as I stated out, this is a game construct, and one we don't know yet. They all could have been this big, but beyond the graphical rendering range of outside observers.
Also, remind me never to enter into speculation on webcomics again, no matter how silly I am trying to be. My sarcastic sardonicism will go unappreciated by the serious discussions. :`( I am sad now. I'm gonna go cry into my milk. Meanies.

Perhaps not. There is a lesson to be learned here. And that is salty milk really isn't as bad as it sounds.

...Wow.
So maybe both John and his father are dead? I wouldn't be shocked now if the storyline picked up with John's three friends, years after the fact, trying to pick up the pieces after the disaster or something.

I didn't post it but this is exactly what I was thinking would happen. The "Several years later" bit, I mean. This is awesome.
