Conflicting reports:
Large shipment of explosives, gasoline storage depot.

Local hospitals overwhelmed with hundreds of patients.

"State broadcaster China Central Television reported that the initial explosion involved a shipment of explosives at a container port which blew up around 11:30 p.m. local time, the South China Morning Post reports"

Fireworks?

It doesn't look like a gasoline explosion.

Just heard there were no reports of fatalities. Over 400 injured from broken glass and flying debris.
