LB, This is not the first time Texas City has blown up, and the time I remember also appeared to have multiple explosions. It was in the late 40s, or early 50s. A ship with a touchy cargo blew up, and the fire reached the main sewer system, and blew off all the manhole covers in all of the major streets. It was reported to sound like a whole chain of fire crackers going off, only bigger. By the time it was over, the entire city was considered to be destroyed.
