They absolutely are ArcticDude’s images. lol I’ll give him a tip off after Christmas.

Did I just watch you fire that thing towards traffic?

No, there's a big hill and tree line on top, about 300ft from where I'm aiming.

I can clearly see the beam hitting in the vicinity of what looks like moving vehicles and at a house
Be careful not to damage you eyes or blind yourself with it.
It doesn't much matter if the output is a true 15W which it probably isn't if all reports about those lasers are true. You won't see much of a difference in any case if it is lower than 15W. Even a 7.5W is overwhelmingly bright for human visual system to correctly evaluate brightness wise.
Keep in mind while 15W is double the output power of a 7.5 W and an extremely dangerous pointer, to double the visual brightness requires 4X the output power. The human eye responds to light intensity on a logarithmic scale, which means a large change in physical light intensity is needed to produce a noticeable difference in perceived brightness, especially at high light levels.
To double the visual brightness of a 7.5 W would require a 30W output.
Consider getting a much better quality pair of laser goggles. One of the Eagle Pair goggles would be a good quality low cost bet. See: https://www.survivallaserusa.com/Safety_Goggles/cat1667093_1527285.aspx
