Explosion in Amarillo linked to nitroglycerin stash and quake-like blast
The blast rattled Amarillo last night, felt miles away, with a stove toppled and windows shaken.

Neighbors reported a strong odor guiding responders to the site, where a large crater and debris appeared. Police and relatives visited Mrs Kidd's home as investigators probe the incident.
