Still no clues as to what caused it? It is amazing that so few died. I think I felt that shock wave from my computer!

BLEVE explosion, most likely a petro chemical plant. Thank goodness it was early morning with nobody working in the port area. I expect the aftermath pictures to resemble a war zone.

"The first explosion was huge, and the second was even more powerful -- the equivalent of 21 metric tons of TNT or a magnitude-2.9 earthquake,"

Yikes. To put that in perspective, that's ONLY roughly 100 times less than Fat Boy.
