The experience of hearing what sounded like an atomic bomb exploding while procrastinating to get ready for Christmas Eve mass will forever be etched in my mind.

Indeed! That rumble, the ground fricking shook as the lights flickered. Lived in Westminster at the time.

I was pretty young but we were living around the Episcopal H.S. area and I remember that boom and the windows rattling, it actually broke some of our neighbors windows. Went outside and people were standing in their driveways wondering what it was. Everyone thought it was a plane crash.

On the TV news they interviewed someone who lived near the plant. He said "I thought it was the Panamas!" It was during that war. The plant I worked in crashed down hard too. Surreal times.
