I asked this of a friend while hiking the other day in jest, but who knows? I joked that I probably wouldn't have a lot of time, and given I would probably be in shock... the best I could get out might be, "Well, fuck."

How about you?

You'll see the bright flash first, at which point you can't waste time and need to take cover from the coming blast. Which probably includes hurling up with your eyes closed. If you somehow survive the blast you can't waste time looking at the cloud and need to find shelter from the fallout within 15 minutes. During this time, if you spot the cloud, you'll probably be speechless and too busy.
