I was driving back from BCS to Houston making the turn on the overpass in Navasota around 8:45 or 9pm last night and witnessed a giant explosion and fireball. I was cruising with my windows down and heard what sounded like someone shooting a shotgun in the passenger seat of my truck. The blast even shook my truck and I looked back to see a giant fireball about twice as high as the tree line go up in the air. The explosion went off just as I was passing, approx 100 yds away from the highway (to the west) by my estimates. Hearing was impaired in my right ear for most of the ride home.
I was thinking that surely I would read about this in the local news this morning. Anyone have any idea what it could have been? Gas tank explosion? It seriously seemed like a large bomb from an air strike. My whole body felt the concussion and my adrenaline was still spiking when I got to Houston.
I would have stopped and reported, but about 5 or 6 other cars pulled over, presumably doing so.
