Atomic Shot Seen In Seven States In Valley
At Mount Charleston Nevada the fourth largest 1955 nuclear test blast lit the sky and blinded observers 800 miles away. The Atomic Energy Commission triggered the 8:20 a.m. EST detonation atop a 50 foot tower, marking the end of a series of postponements and sending a powerful mock war lesson to about 600 soldiers nearby and aircrews in the area. Officials and witnesses described a massive flash and measured effects, while the valley faced evacuations and river flood warnings downstream with widespread damage and road closures across Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia as swollen rivers crested and towns prepared for continued high water.
