Just seeing this thread now. The old stories around here is that the explosion broke windows on the Mira River (about 300kms north).

For those that don't know after the explotion, Boston sent up doctors and medical supplies to help the survivors. As a result the Boston Christmas Tree is a donated by Nova Scotia every year as a thank you for the support and supplies that Boston sent after the explosion.
