Wonder if the Petro fuel stop was damaged.. I spent many a night there.
Nitrates tend to make big booms.
If USGS says nada, it's nada.
Rafael Abreu, a geophysicist with National Earthquake Information Center of the U.S. Geological Survey, said the explosion did not register on a seismograph because most of the blast's energy dissipated in the atmosphere.

We prefer it that way, because it allows the fertilizer company to scoop up upwards of 90% of the money that shocked and emotional state and Federal legislators will appropriate to "help the victims."
The fertilizer plant will be back, all shiny and new, paid for by tax money.
Folks' homes, not so much.

The IRA liked using the same sort of chemicals.
This explosion reminds me of the explosion at the Buncefield oil refinery in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire (just north of London) in December 2005, which injured 43.
The explosion measured 2.4 on the Richter scale (compared to 2.1 for this Texas explosion). Twenty storage tanks were destroyed and the conflagration raged for over two days. It was the biggest incident of its kind in Europe since World War II.
The smoke cloud rose to almost two miles high and could be seen across south east England.
