Massive fertilizer plant explosion in the town of West, TX
Don't know if anyone has heard about this but just before 8pm CST the West Fertilizer Plant in the town of West, Texas exploded. West is located 77 miles south of Dallas and folks in the southern portions of Dallas reported hearing and feeling the blast. Here is an amateur video that was taken too of the initial fire that includes the first blast. http://youtu.be/ROrpKx3aIjA
Several homes, a nursing home, an elementary school and an apartment complex have all been compromised. We've got firefighters from all over Texas heading there to help fight this. A second explosion of an anhydrous ammonia tank just happened and the areas that were set up for triage had to be evacuated.
As if all of this wasn't bad enough we've got some extremely bad weather heading in - high winds, storms.
