Going up in the area I have seen a few rockets blow, usually self-destruct orders given on launches that have gone off course and started to turn back to the mainland, the night expositions are brilliant and the fuel burning off would cause giant colorful circles in the sky. The main payload item on this, a Facebook satellite.
The explosions and tremors could be heard and felt dozens of miles away through the town I grew up in. The camera is a good distance from the pad, takes a few seconds for the sound waves to get there.
To quote Red Green, it blowed up real good.
