Looks like a 2-3 kiloton explosion.

   

Makes me think of the Halifax explosion

   

I didn't think you were that old.

   

Ship or warehouse containing fireworks caught fire and blew up, according to a couple of reports.

That’s one hell of a blast. Not as apocalyptic as the one Tianjin, China at that refinery a few years back, but the daylight really let’s you see the immediate destructive effects of that shockwave. Especially the nearest buildings getting ravaged by it.

   

Too many heritage moments

   

   

What a massive explosion!

With so much destruction there are bound to be many more deaths from this in the coming days.

   

   

For the record, the Halifax explosion killed ‎1,950 people.

   

Fingers crossed this turns out to be a small fraction of that.

   

It was not an attack, you can see a series of much smaller explosions, before the large explosion. Munitions?
