A question about shockwave generation.

Welp, I was watching shoddycast and I've found something interesting.

The energy needed to create a 230 dB shockwave is the energy of a nuclear bomb.

So... If a character can generate shockwaves with higher dB than 230, he is stronger than a nuclear bomb?
 
Generally, shockwaves, or overpressure, is measured in pressure units, generally in psi; Db is sound intensity. There's a equation for that, but there's no way to measure accurately the force of the shockwave, but we can use low or high ends, for example, 1 psi shockwave is capable to shatter glass and windows, if character did that from certain distance, it can be calculated.
