SpaceX reported residents in the nearby communities did not face any hazards due to the explosion.
Residents living near the facility say they felt their explosion from their homes.
“Our whole neighborhood felt it and all the neighbors went outside to see what had happened because it shook all the houses …. my brother-in-law thankfully worked during the day shift,” Brownsville resident Arely Cantu told My San Antonio.

Starbase is about 22 miles east of Brownsville.
Another resident, Juan Martinez, said he heard the “huge boom” as he watched the test from a nearby beach.
“Be safe and contact your family members that work there,” Martinez said in a Facebook post.
The fiery blowup happened just after 11 p.m. local time as the Starship crew was preparing for the tenth flight test of Ship 36 at the Texas Starbase site.
