Yep, I hear it can even happen with flour and sugar plants. Crazy to think about.

Dust explosions are extremely bad. Is that what this was?
Or was it ammonium nitrate? A fire near a large pile of ammonium nitrate is a recipe for this sort of event. Others have mentioned the 1947 Texas City Disaster, which had a yield estimated at 2.7 to 3.2 kt.
