HUGE Explosion in North York

[scotteh]

Amazing explosions in North York. I got a picture of the second one, although nowhere near as good as the one already posted. The fireball was so bright I had to shield my eyes.

Now we know how they felt in NYC in 2001.

oh my. did the explosion wake you up? how did you know about it and took pictures? very scary, i hope people aren't hurt.

The first explosion woke me up... almost rocked me right out of bed. I was out on the balcony taking pics of the fire - I had no idea that was the source of the first explosion yet - when the second one happened.

you look close to the explosion. do you have to evacuate? i read on the star that the 401 is closed, along with the subway north of lawrence.

[scotteh]

Nope, its a long way away. Im guessing around 4 miles or so. Yeah, 401 was closed for a long way. it was a really big deal!! Although the fire dept in the press conference played it down and said they`d dealt with explosions like this and even bigger before. Sounds like there wasnt a lot of damage outside that company other than broken windows.

all in all, I can honestly say I much prefer the moon and my beach house.
