3. Oklahoma

you know where the buffalo roam :-)

We had an acetylene depot go up like this near here a couple years ago and it was no fun for the people involved especially the firemen who were tasked with keeping it under control until it burnt itself out.

4. From I'm reading...

...this is a propane explosion.

So, now I know less than what I did when I found out about it. (I don't know if it will just burn itself out)

Last I read (from the fark link) some houses are on fire, many injuries.

:cry:

Wow...I will be landing at Peasron, So I'll probably catch some of it from the air as I come in at around 10am.

They are about 150 miles northwest of toronto. A friend is picking me up.
