It's hard to take any of these breathless articles seriously when they say, "Exploded SpaceX rocket devastated a town..." and the like. It's obvious the people writing the article either don't know what they're talking about or they're intentionally being disengenuous for clicks. The controlled explosion of the SpaceX rocket did not devastate or hurt anything. It happened far offshore at 30k foot up. The "damage" is almost exclusively to and from the concrete pad being blown apart by the rocket plume into fast moving chunks and dust. The chunks did not devastate any of the town. The wildlife reserve was similarly not devastated. The worst "damage" to non-SpaceX property was the spread of concrete bits and sand.
