	In Good Omens, it is claimed the explosion "was seen as far away as Halifax". However, between east Lancashire and Halifax there is a very high range of hills called the Pennines, which are the nearest thing England has to a mountain range. They act as a formidable natural barrier, with only a handful of navigable passes - even today, many of these passes are frequently closed in winter due to snow and ice. Also, in pre-industrial times, the town of Halifax lay entirely at the bottom of a very deep valley. For both these reasons, it is extremely unlikely that an explosion in east Lancashire would ever be visible in Halifax. It is quite possible neither author was familiar with the geography of the area.		In Good Omens, it is claimed the explosion "was seen as far away as Halifax".
