Last night...

...a fertilizer plant in Waco, TX caught fire and one of the tanks of ammonium nitrate (I believe it was) exploded, registering a 2.1 on the Richter Scale, and demolishing everything within a 4 block radius of the plant - homes, apt complex, a school, nursing home - destroyed.

Around 160 injured (possibly, and probably more). Death toll estimates around 10-15, though this number could change a lot.

After watching the video, I have to say that the explosions and conflagrations I have perpetrated in my yard feel quite small now.

Still nothing compared to the explosions you've caused in my pants, though.

Is the Dr Pepper museum okay though?

Didn't even happen in Waco. Happened in West, TX. 10 miles north of Waco. I didn't even know it happened until my dad in georgia called me.
