The blast was estimated at about 2.9 kilotons. Here's an idea on the reach of the blast if it were a nuclear detonation.

Back then however, they didn't have as many concrete buildings. Most of the buildings were made of wood and brick. The effects of the blast must have been much farther.

Here's a clip from the Halifax explosion inspired drama: Shattered City.
