I heard it is enough to blow up a building -- hope that doesn't mean a dam or two as well. The area this disappeared from makes me nervous... since I live in the SW.

"I heard it is enough to blow up a building"

That would be classified as an understatement if indeed 100lbs+ is gone

More than 100 lbs. From the ABC News story:

The missing 400 pounds of explosives includes 150 pounds of what is known as C-4 plastic, or "sheet explosive," which can be shaped and molded and is often used by terrorists and military operatives ... Also, 2,500 detonators were missing from a storage explosive container, or magazine, in a bunker owned by Cherry Engineering.
