OK, maybe I've just got a macabre sense of humor, but I learned about a site that will let you see how far away you have to go to escape the damage from a nuclear bomb (or, conveniently, an asteroid impact similar to the Chicxulub impact that caused the end of the dinosaurs). Type in a city and the kind of explosion, then click "Nuke It!" and see where you need to run to in order to avoid.
For your reference, here are the impact zones for the Little Boy bomb, a modern nuke, and an asteroid impact, should any of those land in Denver, CO.
So, if you see a very bright light, immediately go to this web site to get an idea of exactly how far away you should have been from impact.
