The crater's small size in-game was previously assumed to be game mechanics, and John White's 5-6 block statement was taken as the actual crater size. However, even cutscenes portray the crater as relatively small, which lines up with John's statement that it "smashed" 5-6 city blocks.
Using the shockwave formula gets 688 tons, while assuming a 20-metre radius and a 10-metre depth gets almost 51.5 kilotons for the crater itself. Not all natural Conduits should scale to this value, though, as Cole comments that people in the vicinity of the blast are less powerful than the person that withstands it point-blank.
As for what this affects, it downgrades half of the verse by 7 megatons. That's all.
