The rural areas are west of I-95. Peanuts, cotton, onions, soy beans, etc. Those will be the places that will have something similar to the Texas town.
From google that plant looked like it had a large round storage ?silo? and a cluster of tall skinny white tanks, and a couple big steel buildings. Is the big round storage what blew up?

I'm not sure, but if I had to guess, I'd think it would be the west building. That is probably their dry fertilizer mixing facility that would house the ammonium nitrate and I'd bet that is what blew up.
The big white tanks next to that building are probably anhydrous ammonia, but a guy from there on Agtalk said they had some propane around (even better!).
