From a friend that knows more than I do 
Quote:
The explosive yield of the 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate in the Beirut port explosion is estimated to have been the equivalent of 200-500 tons of TNT. For comparison, the MOAB conventional bomb in our arsenal today yields about 11 tons of TNT. Little Boy dropped on Hiroshima yielded about 15,000 tons of TNT; Fat Man dropped on Nagasaki yielded about 20,000 tons of TNT.
Each of the two nuclear weapons dropped were 30 to 100 times the TNT equivalent yield of the Beirut explosion.
