The equivalent is about 63,000 gal of gasoline, and most decent sized gas stations have between 60-120,000 gallons in storage.

Even if it were just over 10,000 gallons, the implied safety standoff distance in the event of a catastrophic failure would exceed 1000ft.

This implies no more gas stations off the interstate highways, unless they are a couple of blocks away from the road.

Think about that the next time you’re driving down the highway and see a gas station.

100 ft? This thing leveled everything out for a couple thousand feet. At onepoint the sheriff said a 5 mile wide area of destruction
