Nevermind, I had all of my calculations wrong.
If Beirut is 2500 tons, West TX was 250ish tons, Texas City was 2500 tons, Oklahoma City was 2 tons.

West TX is consider 7-10 tons of TNT equivalent, so Beirut/Texas City would be 75-100 tons equivalent, maybe upwards of 200 (the calculations don't seem to be linear). Oklahoma City was called 2 tons equivalent, but I wonder if that is because it was a shaped charge.
