That depends on where it goes off:

  • air or surface burst: a blinding double flash of light lasting a few tens of microseconds, the bomb has now completed going off everything else is after effects. These include thermal flash caused fires, blast wave winds of up to hundreds of miles per hour going out from then returning to the center, a mushroom cloud, fallout.
  • shallow subsurface burst: the bomb goes off underground so you see nothing directly from it. After effects that you do see are the blast wave winds, mushroom cloud, very large amounts of fallout.
  • deep subsurface burst: the bomb goes off underground so you see nothing directly from it. After effects are an earthquake like shaking, this may be followed in the next few hours or days by the formation of a subsidence crater above the burst location.
  • ionospheric burst: you may or may not see this at all. The main after effect will be EMP that can blow out electrical and electronic systems for a thousand miles or more around the burst. Don't expect to use your car, computer, phone, etc.
