[Torg] 55 DV = ??

[Benjamin Grant]

Just curious - through the right circumstances, a fluke of luck (3 20s in a
row), and through my superhero's growing ability, I was able to launch a
blast attack last night in my torg game of 55 DV effect points.

Can anyone give me some sense of how much destructive power that is?  What
does a 55 DV *mean*?
