Whoosh?

I saw something similar to this happen once. I had found a truck and my buddy and I took it to the factory near Polana to repair. When we arrived we noticed a repairable chopper parked on the road right outside the gate. After inspecting it we determined it was too damaged to fix right then and they where bugged at the time anyway. We pulled the truck into the factory and scavenged for parts. After fixing the truck I drove out of the factory and slightly bumped the tail of the chopper (hey it was dark and I might have had a few :P). The truck then flipped over and the chopper exploded. We bailed out and ran up the hill with explosions happening constantly behind us. When we got to the top of the hill we looked back to see the truck and chopper on fire, but the explosion sounds kept happening every couple of seconds so we decided to relog figuring it was a sound bug. When we came back in we saw pretty much what you have in your screenshot, and the funny thing was it kept following us for at least a km or two. It was also as bright as day for another km or two after we finally lost the flames.

I was on the server when this happened but didn't see any nukes. My buddy was in Electro and I was providing overwatch on a nearby hill. First a loud explosion (sounded like a satchel charge maybe?) went off at the west fire station, then a few minutes later rockets or something started raining down on the east fire station. I didn't see a helicopter or plane or anything, just smoke trails from what looked like sparklers arcing down in groups of 5 or so. We disconnected rather than die to a hacker, after reading this I am glad we did. Does that count as disconnecting to avoid death? :P
