    Atom Bomb Testing - Baxterville, Mississippi

    Atom Bomb Testing - Baxterville, Mississippi

    Baxterville is an unincorporated community in Lamar County, Mississippi. Located in the southwestern portion along Mississippi Highway 13, southwest of Hattiesburg. At 10:00 a.m. on October 22, 1964, the United States government detonated an underground nuclear device in Lamar County, in south Mississippi. Residents there felt three separate shocks, and watched as the soil rose and behaved like ocean waves. Hunting dogs howled in terror, and two miles from the test site the blast shook pecans off the pecan trees. This nuclear test, and the one that followed two years later at the same Mississippi site, were the only nuclear explosions on U.S. soil east of the Rocky Mountain states.

Nice

👍🏼 Good job! The Hatfield story was great. I live in Mercer county WV and have been to the Hatfield graveyard a couple times. The Hatfield McCoy play at Grandview National Park, cheesy as it may be, is a regional gem. Thanks man!

"Not" a wizard ,
