It seems to me as though this was caused by a very large quantity of black powder igniting, or something of the like. Whatever it was produced enough force to blow windows and doors out?

I appreciate all the well wishes and support. You guys are making this process much easier. I don't know how many details I can go into at this time, but my physical and mental status are good and improving. I can tell you that good safety practices and plans are key to my current status.
