Basically any article you find searching "SpaceX Launch" right now that covers the damage to the pad (not just the very-early reports about the rocket blowing up) contains some or all of the info in that post. The reporter I heard talking about it (I think yesterday?) said that SpaceX had to file a variety of assessments of expected effects under various launch scenarios, and that the damage done by this successful launch was on par with what they'd estimated for the "fully-fueled rocket explodes on pad" outcome, and that they seem to have based their projections for a "gets off the pad successfully" scenario on results from a half-throttle test-fire and, I dunno, wishful thinking, it seems. I have not personally looked up those records to verify that, though.
