Of course, Kingwood is practically downtown Houston
Nope. No homeless beggars, no sirens, gunshots, explosions, bad traffic, trash on roads, etc etc. in the livable forest.
Until it rains and you become the new scenic background for Kingwood spin-off of SpongeBob Squarepants

Live in Oak Forest, us and the dogs all slept through it.

Although I know of Watson Grinding, terrible for them and the community. Hope everyone is ok.

Well I live in Oak Forest too, and I'm also apparently the heaviest sleeper of all time, and it woke me up like it slapped me in the face.

We had a homeless dude, but now that he can't live off the prepared food that Randall's tosses out, he'll probably move on to Champions or something.

Nope, luckily in the 85 percent that has never flooded. About 10 feet above Harvey level.
And I forgot. No armed robbers or tent cities either.

Just a quick 20 minute drive!


Wouldn't know. Spend my mornings working out instead of sitting on my butt in a car. Anyway, Gmaps says it was 25 miles away. Sounded about like a transformer blowing. Can't imagine how Texas City must have sounded.

Maybe we can move the Watson operation into the Dome for a bit.

We all slept through it. I'm at Barker Cypress and Clay. Even the Shepard who goes bonkers at thunder in Shreveport didn't hear a peep.

did not wake me up, my house is not made of paper thin walls.


Same here. Several members of my house staff did come to my chambers this morning and tell me the news while serving my coffee. They were summarily beaten.

The mimbo in channel 13 speculated that the explosion was at 424am but they didn't hear it at the station until 427am because the station is 10 miles away and it might have taken the noise 3 minutes to travel those 10 miles.
Probably got stuck in traffic because someone was proposing on the freeway

It actually woke me up all the way in Katy. I thought it was a thunder clap so checked the weather on my phone to see it was clear. And I'm not typically a super light sleeper. Was wondering what the hell it was

Kingwood has scheduled town hall for a class action suit.
Katy has evacuated
Heights certainly all felt it and are currently stocking up on CBD oil for their pets.
Spring Branch said hold my beer i am going to work.

As a spring branch resident, I can somewhat confirm.
4:26 woke up to the explosion, checked front and back yard, saw no active fires or police activity so went back to sleep.
5:30 checked the news while getting ready for work, saw the incident, and actively hoped the city would panic and stay home so my commute would be nicer

Live in the branch. Hearing loud bangs from north of Westview is not uncommon. Nothing to see here.

Same, except I quickly got out the door to avoid the dumbass onlookers to come by and check everything out.

Digging around online. It looks like they blew up their HVOF Building.

HVOF uses propylene as a fuel, so it would be piped into the building...

I was sleeping at the time so I didn't feel anything, but my dog sure did and proceeded to wake up everyone in the house barking.

Reminds me of the natural gas explosion that happened in Brenham back in roughly 1991 that I felt in my house in Missouri City.

I do love SBISD said, "Get your asses up, kids! Y'all going to school. There may be some slight delays on some buses but we got learning to do and your parents got work to do."

That's MY Dirty Branch.

Heck yeah. Got the pre-recorded call at 7:15 this morning. Lady sounded tired and pissed off that they even had to address the situation. Get your butts to school kids.

I saw someone on Facebook marked himself "Safe from the explosion in Houston, TX."

JFC this is a joke right? Sadly no. However the grifters are alive and well on social media offering demo/Reno services. This was the best one:

This is sure to stir up the zoning debate. Thoughts & prayers if anyone was in that building.

Criminal investigations (arson, etc) are going to start - but it sounds like it may just be to eliminate the possibility.

Police chief just asked people who felt the blast nearby to look around homes for debris or body parts that may be related to the explosion.
