So there's about 500 tons of ammonium nitrate on site, another 100 tons in rail cars next to the fire.

Firefighters have left the area after trying to control it.

600 tons of ammonium nitrate is likely to go up here. West, TX was about 240 tons. So it could be more than double the size of the West, TX explosion.

That would basically level everything within a 1/4 mile radius, and damage windows and doors for about a mile away.

This now has my attention. What twitter feeds can I read about it?
