A "large explosion" shook parts of southern New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts around 7 p.m. Tuesday evening. Some on social media said they thought a tree had fallen or an earthquake struck. It turns out that the blast came from a gender reveal party.
Kingston police responded to Torromeo Industries on Dorre Road to investigate. They figured out that the earth-shaking boom was caused by an explosion of about 80 pounds of Tannerite, which police said is an over-the-counter "explosive target" that is used for firearms practice.
The explosion was so big it was caught on a doorbell camera.
