Let's start over......
Got a call today. The paper mill here by my house is wanting to hire me on. I told them that I want to finish my schooling in Canada first. They going to start me out at $4 more than what I make now then after my probation, I'll get $3 more then I can top out at $10 more than I make now. I see a new job in the future and a new bass bout coming soon!!!!
Felt a big boom and house shake about an hour ago. Just found out it was a fertilizer plant over 50 miles away. Small town of West. You Texas boys know it. It's apparently pretty bad. Over ten buildings on fire with people trapped. Just absolutely horrible. Sure hope everyone comes through ok.

The guy and his daughter (I think) that were shooting the vid looked to be about 1/2 mile away at first. When it exploded, they looked to be only a 1/4 mile away.
Sounds like they both suffered shell shock afterward at that distance.
Mannn, this could be bad, -just read that people were trapped. I hope there weren't fire fighters on the seen and that they were made aware of the explosive potential beforehand. W/people trapped, I know I would have tried to help regardless of what may occur. It's an instinct I think most have, -you have to try.
All you can do is pray for now.

Jim's right. they are all volunteers. Its a town of about 2800 people everyone knows everyone. So many companies and businesses coming together and providing tarps, plywood, food, water, etc... at no charge to anyone living there and no charge to all volunteers. I know some have been reported as passed though. There mayor was on his way there, he's a voluteer fire fighter, he was two blocks away when it blew. He survived.
