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"...
