That's a surreal experience right? I was next to a couple f15's that were being scrambled to intercept a Russian plane in Alaska when I was maybe 14. It was completely unreal how those things shook everything... Like you said, that's a great way to describe it. I felt like I was going to come apart. then they accelerated down the runway, put the gear up, stayed about 10 feet off the ground and then went completely vertical and disappeared from sight so fast, it was hard to even believe what we just watched.
