I was lucky and got in before they closed the streets and was across the street for the video. Glad you and your home did not get hurt..

I was working for medicwest ambulance when this happened. I was on the overpass bringing more supplies from the station when the big one blew. I was probably 700ish ft from the blast. Everything got real bright and the bridge shook. I honestly thought I died. Then after it looked like hot metal was raining everywhere. Will never forget it. They issued an evacuation for a 2 mile radius for a day and a half until the other 1000 gallon that was spitting flames stopped.

I worked for MetroLift at the time and that was their sister location Proflame. The explosion went up a few months after I left to come back to Dallas. The guy was filling cylinders off a 1000 gallon, hose ignited he didn't have the emergceny shut off remote so there for you have this mess. Metro Lift then uses video to prusuade customers with bulk storages to switch over to cylinder exchange. Proflame caused the other propane company to go up in flames.

I live 2 miles North of where this happened. Some idiot was smoking while they were filling their propane tank. My windows in my house bowed. The I-15 was closed down a couple days to let this burn itself out.

Truck races. Awesome racing and fire show before the event was over.

I also noticed the 1st smaller explosions and before long the Grandaddy blew it's top.

Pretty big mushroom fireball.

I was near Pepcon when it blew also. Keeps following me 'round.

Yes, "crazee" fireworks!

[ImDiscombobulated]

He must be in severe doo doo.

My parents live off of Craig and Walnut Im not sure if this is the one but there was a propane plant that exploded from being struck by lighting. One of the tanks landed across the street in a empty lot.... Fucking Extreme
