I suppose that if the bomb is big enough, the fireball takes a few seconds to come up to full brightness. However, the small nukes that N. Korea has would go to full brightness in what would seem to be an instant. That's what happened to all those poor Japanese.
Well, considering the quality of their guidance systems they'll probably aim directly at the island, hoping they'll manage to get within a thousand miles. Of course since their failure rate on launches is about 1 in 3 it's not like Guam has a lot to worry about, especially since the payload on the missiles is much lower than the actual weight of their nukes.
My grandmother had a globe that showed 'French West Africa', Portuguese Southwest Africa, and 'Belgian Congo'. It wasn't much use in our geography homework.
For all you travel and aviation geeks: our favorite airline United operates an island hopper from Honolulu to Guam, stopping at un-Trumpable US territories such as Kwajalein, Kosrae, Pohnpei, Majuro, and Chuuk.
I was there 84-85 on USS White Plains. Loved the diving, Talafofo Falls, etc. Beach at the Navy base was pretty nice, but I liked the one at Anderson better, sitting at the foot of that big ass cliff. Too hot, humid, and buggy to ever consider living there full time, though. Hafa Adai!
Reminds me of when I had a roommate of Italian extraction and I always got better grades than her since her family taught her their dialect instead of Tuscan Italian.
Christ. What an asshole.
I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Here's hoping Mueller works fast and well.
If you could do that, you could forsee your own end.

I think this should be the romantic island music theme song that accompanies the tourist promotion: https://youtu.be/15YgdrhrCM8

On the plus side, if WW3 was sparked and Guam was bombed, it would most certainly take care of their brown tree snake problem.
In Arabia, silly!
The Wall Street Journal article describing the Byers incident was titled "The Radium Water Worked Fine Until His Jaw Came Off"!!!!!!11!!!1!!!!
