Could be, but I think it follows a common model in post-apocalyptic stories (with the exception of The Stand) where the exact details of how the devastation took place remain obscure.
I like the fact that all we get are hints – the bright lights in the distance, concussions, the power goes out, time to fill up the tub and watch distant cities burn.
No matter the cause, their physical world remains shattered.
