Seemed to be caused by a fire. Town of West, Texas. Number of fatalities unknown so far, but many homes destroyed. http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/18/us/texas- ... homepage-t
Sorry America. What a really terrible week. :(

The explosion is insane. Hope there are more people okay than some think.

    The explosion measured a 2.1 on the Richter scale. As of 3:30am EST, over 170 injured, and "many" confirmed dead. I hope you guys don't run out of prayers.

    I saw it linked to through Twitter. Honestly, don't go looking for it. You really don't want to. If I had known I would not have clicked.

    Unbelieveable. I don't know how else to describe it other than sad. A fertilizer plant is just a huge bomb.
