Had a fireworks factory blow up in a town nearby in 1997

...those not far from the explosion were entranced by the unexpected beauty of it, as what seemed like thousands of rockets exploded in the air.

...’’It was the most elaborate fireworks I’ve ever seen,’’ said Bill Slone, who was standing outside the golf cart business he runs. ‘’Then it wasn’t beautiful anymore.’’

Video I saw you can see small secondary then the whole ammo dump goes up.

A minimum of 100,000 pounds of military grade high explosives. Multiple moabs worth.

As far as I can tell from the various stories, the fire and explosions started in a Hezbollah missile factory which then caused an adjacent grain storage elevator to blow.
