Hypothetically, what would happen to a human being this close other than suffocating from the impending smoke? Let’s assume no ear protection either. Could you even dampen the sound enough with your own hands to not blow your eardrums out?

We can usually see them from Virginia Beach. Tough part is remembering to set an alarm on your phone.
