This is way off topic, but it may fit in ATG. Good thoughts need to be sent out to this town.
A little after 8:00 today, there was a tremendous fertilizer plant explosion in a little town north of Waco. Details out of the town are still sketchy, but it appears an area the size of 4 city blocks was leveled with multiple structures collapsed or on fire including the middle school (likely empty) and a nearby nursing home. Surrounding hospitals are expecting hundreds of admits. The blast was felt and heard up to 70+ miles away. They are sending EMS units from as far away as DFW and are evacuating the town. Imagine a blast like the one in OKC multiplied by many times in size.
The mushroom cloud:


And here is a really spooky video of the explosion. This man and his child are VERY lucky to be alive.

I hope this doesn't turn out as bad as it looks.
