Well, on the example I say, it wasn't spherical at all. The shockwave
seemed to propogate more quickly along the ground (presumably because
it's a hard surface?), and was vaguely cylindrical like the tower they
detonated.
Then there was the smoke cloud reigniting briefly as it escaped the
shockwave area, "due to the extra oxygen"...
