Rare MSFS Cumulonimbus? Or a nuclear test?

So spotting a CB in MSFS has been a rarity. Actually, I do not believe I have ever spotted an isolated CB (cumulonimbus cloud or thunderhead).  So this is looking east from KDEN this afternoon.  MSFS SU9.  The Hjet G3000 wx radar did show some showers in the area, but this appears to rise from the earth.  Any reports of nuclear tests this afternoon in Colorado?

Someone emailed me and observed that it is two TCU's in a kissing embrace!  LOL!

Oh well!  The Hjet was wonderful today.  2.2 hours from John Wayne/Orange County (KSNA) to Denver Intl (KDEN). Captured this image while waiting for the fuel truck at Denver.  Then 2.6 hours from Denver to Indianapolis Intl (KIND).  Gave me an opportunity to fine tune my cruise burn rates at various altitudes in my FltPlan.com Hondajet performance table.  My flight plan was inside 100 lbs of the total fuel burn for the Denver to Indianapolis flight!

Yep, this is the new Nuclear test modeling for end of the world simulation in MSFS.  Snuck in by Asobo in the last update... 😶👍
