If that is the original (2003) that is Eglin AFB.

The MOAB was tested at Eglin but produced at the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant.

Fun fact: every weekday in the town of McAlester you will hear a distant explosion right at noon. The ammo plant has to dispose of expired ordnance on pretty much a daily basis in their blast pit.

That’s why I said original. Developed and tested at Eglin. Had friends on the team. Was miles away from range 70 and the building shook.

The terrain in the pic looks like that around the HERD facility.

I'm roughly 60 miles away. Sometimes it goes on for hours.

This highlights one of those “holy shit” moments in my life. I grew up in South Ga., like on salt water south. I used to hear all the time from old folks, who had never been anywhere else, that mild winters made for more mosquitoes in spring. Then one day I found myself near the Mississippi River between MN and WI, and no those aren’t hummingbirds. It was at that moment that I had personal experience that said those old folks were wrong…. That or the upper Midwest would be uninhabitable if there was a warm-ish winter.

Same, same for the tundra of Alaska.
I truly believe an unprotected human could die from blood loss.
I recall an occasion where I was literally wiping my hands down my arms and they would roll up by the hundreds.
Of course, many would say and I might have trouble disagreeing that the tundra IS uninhabitable if not frozen...and even then.
