Something akin to the 2013 Texas fertilizer plant explosion is a lot more likely than a nuclear bomb.

i'd agree, and current running story is "confiscated high explosives", but being so close to port makes me wonder about a terror attack...
Who knows? All I know is that WAS NOT a "fireworks factory". That shock wave cloud was huge and reports of the explosion being heard 150 miles away...

I hope you all got that I really didn't think it was nuclear. We would for sure know if it was..just such a huge explosion.

I am shocked and blown away that that amount of explosives was all kept in one place.

You can see ammo clearly cooking off in this version right before the big boom.

Lebanese President Michel Aoun has said that it is "unacceptable" that 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate were stored in a warehouse for six years without safety measures, according to statements published on the presidency's Twitter account.
Aoun pledged that those responsible would face the "harshest punishments".

Works out to about ~1 KT TNT equivalent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent
Or, 1/20th of the Nagasaki bomb. Really puts the destructive power of nukes in perspective.

Yeah I've seen 1 or 2 vids where it looks like "firecrackers" popping off near the fire. Might be why initial reports were fireworks factory. I'll bet it was munitions too.
Again news said confiscated high explosives from a ship or something. Maybe it was all still sitting in the ship as why it was all in one place..could've been brought there knowing it would be confiscated and the set on fire...who the hell can ever tell this early?
Very sad no matter the cause. Just insane.
