Would be bigger in casualties then the Halifax Explosion and 1944 Bombay explosion. If that map of the area affected by a chain reaction is accurate your probably talking of hundred's of thousand's of casualties. As well as a lot of economic damage and of course the US would lose its largest port for quite a while.

The US War on Currants and Gooseberries - episode - 342
Very interesting thanks. In the start it sounded a stupid decision to attack such a useful set of crops but given the economic value of white pine in the US compared to the berries it makes sense.
