There are some pictures of the cloud if you do a search, and some artist renditions.
Remember that on top of that size of an explosion, that construction was mostly wood and brick, it offered little protection when a blast waive that size cut through Halifax.
And to the above, China industries has a pretty poor record when it comes to safety and worker protection.
I would expect that we'll see the casualties accelerate upwards as people are reported missing by their families, but a lot of the victims were probably reduced to dust.
