No earthquake activity near Narragansett, Rhode Island. USGS monitoring is very accurate. (click here)
There are a few oil companies in the area of Narragansett, RI. But, the location of the disruption was really specific. If it were an oil holding tank or some sort of similar incident more people would have been effected.
This sounds right to me.

...One press report claims (click here) that the explosion may be tied to a unexploded 4th of July firework that may have detonated.
This story is developing....
If there were July 4th fireworks over the water there is always a chance one didn't explode and landed on or near the beach. I'd be curious if there are any more unexploded fireworks under the water, etc. I think an explosive expert needs to consider that possibility and how to safety look for any more rockets.
