The explosion ripped through nearby homes, destroying them, causing multiples fires in the area, which lit cars and more houses ablaze.
Twenty people have been killed and thirty-three were injured by the blasts and fires.
That number could go up, as emergency personnel search through the rubble.
Medical officials are considering air lifting some of the most seriously burned to Texas, for treatment.
The driver of the tanker was pulling two tanks of gas, and is under arrest at a hospital.
