I was walking outside during the initial flash and the subsequent booms. I kind of expected delayed sound based on the intense initial brightness. I knew it was close and did a rough distance calculation of 90 miles based on the 7 minute sound delay. Very interesting to hear of radar evidence near Cibecue, AZ.
