My high school physics teacher was stationed at Eniwetok and he told us a lot about it. His job was photography, and he showed us some impressive photos of the explosions, including some showing lightning striking the top of the mushroom cloud.

He mentioned that his son was adopted, though whether that was by necessity or out of caution I don't know.

Anyway, he lived to an apparently healthy old age.

Thanks for sharing. Being a photographer must have meant some line of sight exposure I guess. My old man was a radio operator. As I understand it, they were investigation the effects on communications, so he got stuck in a shack listening to the EMP, guess he would have heard that lightning in his headphones.
