The bomb, officially called the Massive Ordnance Air Blast, or MOAB, and unofficially dubbed the Mother of All Bombs, is guided to its target by satellite signals. It was dropped out the rear of a C-130 transport plane, officials said.

The bomb is so powerful that its detonation had been expected to create a towering cloud visible for miles.

A Pentagon official who reviewed a videotape said the bomb created a tall cloud of debris that billowed into the sky but did not resemble the mushroom-shaped cloud of a nuclear blast. The Air Force videotape was to be released later.

Some area residents felt the bomb's detonation but said the explosion was not as big as they had expected.

"It was kind of weak," said Patricia Sariego, a receptionist at the Best Western hotel in Navarre, on the southern edge of Eglin. She said the blast shook doors.

Does anyone have any sat images of it at all?

Or was it too cloudy to tell at all?

I think it was too cloudy to tell. I cant wait to see the footage from the Air Force.

Considering she was probably 30+ miles from the blast site and definitely no closer than 15-20 miles, I wouldn't call that weak!! Probably rocked my Mom's place big time!!

no doubt!
