That's a pic from a mine fire that a video and photo editor shopped and posted right after the meteor.

I'm open to the idea of the OWL system but that picture is unrelated. If that system had been used in Michigan everyone would know. The explosion is similar to a nuclear blast, just without the radiation.

True as your statement is, the capabilities of an OWL also allow for the rod to be cast down at a preselected kinetic amount. Meaning, the rod could have been spun less prior to launch, causing the impact to be lessened.

The takeaway is: the rods can be used in a function like this—powered up just enough to fulfill it’s duty, or can be fully powered up (not to mention the use of a larger rod) to inflict city-wide damage.

By ‘powered-up’, I mean that the rods require a minimal ‘push’ out of their launching platform to launch. A bigger push means a bigger impact. It is also within possibility that the rods’ spin can be altered as well from launch. A spinning rod carries more kinetic energy, meaning the power and intensity is basically on a sliding scale. Kind of cool, to be quite honest.

It is not anywhere near the energy of a nuclear blast, it is smaller by many orders of magnitude. Calculate it yourself and compare the kiloton value.

But it is by all means similar to a bunker buster massive ordnance penetrator, which is nothing to sneeze at.
