This doesn't tell you anything about the blast, though, and whether you'd get impaled on an uprooted tree or have a car slammed against you

I also think this assumes a ground level burst. An air burst at 2500' might show you a whole 'nother picture
I think it is for an air burst. At least, the bombs dropped on Japan show what I think is a comparable radius to what actually happened and those were exploded in the atmosphere.
