Read an article that the new Menards being built in my town will have a self serve LPG filling island in the parking lot. The article described it as if you will connect and fill your own cylinders. ...

Image a big bertha where the explosion did not flash. The FAE is a special purpose weapon that is utterly unlike a TNT bomb.
It lights up and stays lit for 5 seconds. How many big bertha's does that equal? A lot.
The overpressure wave is incredible.
Watched a demonstration of an FAE at a cave entrance in Tora Bora. FAE detonated at a cave entrance and krap flew out of four or five openings on the other side of the hill -- up to a half mile distant through a tunnel network. Stuff like sandbags and various parts with clothing and rocket propelled grenades and lots of rocks and dust.
In southeast Asia, the reaming of a tunnel network by the Marines and Special Forces was quite a specialty. We boys in dungarees and boon dockers only got glimpses of that nasty job.
Back on track...the "thermo" part is minor. It's the effect of the pressure that keeps coming and coming, like a Tsunami, that does all the damage.
The problem with all this is that when an LPG leak in a confined space gets to an air fuel ratio that can support combustion, it isn't dynamite. It's worse. It's a fuel air explosion.
A GC220 that detonates sounds similar to a 12-gauge shotgun discharging.
