I hope your ok Don and everyone one else up there....Looks like a big one...

Looks like the explosion went up, not out. Outside of some broken windows the collateral damage seems small for an explosion of that size.
I am sitting here with my fingers crossed hoping Miller was in that building, a nice little tour by the mayor. He'll probably try to ban propane now anyways.
Hope everyone is OK.

What are you talking about. What explosion and where?
BBO

It was a massive propane explosion! I was an hour away. Possibly 12,000 people evacuated.

sure glad it wasn't any where close to you my friend, thankful you are ok.

Killed one Firefighter, District Chief B. Leek , and one civilian dead at this time.

spect we had best say prayers for those that were lost. we pray their familys have the strength & hope to hold up under such losses.
my mrs and i pray for all of those involved with the explosion.

The news this morning showed some of the damage to some local businesses, it sure is a mess down there, they are saying 20,000 people were evacuated, the propane plant was loaded with asbestos.
They have not mentioned any casualties, but like Digger said it has happened, sorry about a fallen comrade Digger. Good luck to the rest of them out there and the others who have been affected.
