My mom called and said there was a big explosion at a fertilizer place in West. She lives outside of town about 3 miles and her house shook. Anyone else hear about this?

My parents live several miles outside of West and it warped a wall on my parent's brick house. At least according to my mom. Thoughts and prayers.

Edit: According to that article the middle school was on fire. That a pretty good ways away from the plant. Geez...

Sounds like they may be getting ready to evacuate the whole town.

The middle school and a nursing home are a block from the plant. This could be really bad.
