This shook my house from 40 miles away. Apparently They heard it in France and Holland too:







That smoke is heading my way

i just saw this-fucking crazy. people's doors blew off hinges, the shit's potentially-burning for a few days.

stay well mr.biggun, maybe it's time to shut the house up and take a holiday a little early and not worry about the air-quality.

I haven't seen photos yet.

I grew up not far from where the Texas City Explosion happened, well before my time. That happened at a port, not an fuel storage facility, and it went up all at once rather than a fire that burned over time.

I think they left the ship's anchor where it landed two miles (!) inland.

About ten years ago my parent's garage door was buckled by a n explosion 12 miles away - a pipeline broke, leaking fuel into a small valley, and the pipeline operator apparently didn't notice a problem until it went BOOM!

Damn that is some shit. Hope all out that way are okay.
