Would the class 1 sonic rainboom be the nuclear explosion or something even more awesome?

@MrWrann Probably something absolutely stupidly super-powerful. Think back to the time she did the rainboom when she was young. It was absolutely enormous. Think about something that can top that. That's probably a class 1.

The class 3 emitted an immense flash of light that reached with more than adequate intensity back to the stadium above which had to have been more than a couple hundred meters upward from her position... after all, it was about 20 seconds after passing the stadium or so that the rainbow barrier was broken. The rainbow wave itself was relatively small and the rainbow wake from her flight trail was propagating not from her mane, but simply from where she was.

Based on comparison with the intense and far reaching force effects of a class 2, the nuclear rainboom in "Ground-"... I mean, "LESSON Zero" was probably accomplished with a localized class 3, as it simply destroyed a barn ("simply", of course, reflects the comparison and NOT the accomplishment which was, in fact, AWESOME).

The class 2 created a massive wake that spread at least a few miles... while creating a shockwave capable of shattering geodes and generating enough wind power to frizz out a pony's hair. Interestingly, it would seem that the effects as the shockwave propagates outward are variable depending on the conditions of the local sample area. There was no massive wind experienced on Rarities side or Twilight's academy... an Fluttershy herself was most likely the closest pony to the event location, but no disruption was quite the same as that experienced at Pinkie pie's rock farm. This may or may not have anything to do with the fact that Pinkie Pie's story "occasionally changes" based on this source's findings. Also notable is that, at that time, Rainbow Dash's mane became the feed for the rainbow trail... Rainbow Dash had partly transformed to a rainbow propagator.

I'd speculate that at class one, the pony that achieves such a sonic rainboom will become a moving rainbow traveling at relativistic speeds. It can only be speculated from the effects of a class 2 that air pressure gradients, sound, shockwaves, and wind forces created by a class 1 could result in particularly catastrophic events local to the area of accomplishment. I know not why an alicorn would have accomplished such a feat, but if Ow- I mean... THIS SPY speaks of it without concern, then perhaps it isn't as bad as I think it could be. Maybe it's like a class 2, but the visible effect of the visible portion of the shockwave spreads out so far it reaches SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
