It is a miracle that there was no loss of life in this series of explosions.

Interesting question to ponder, Gracie. Still wondering the same thing about the Louisiana chemical plant fire and the West, Texas fertilizer plant explosion. Home grown terrorists testing responses? Trying to stress the response system?

Just saw a headline on MSNBC that said "human and equipment error to blame for explosion".

I just read that one of the large tanks is now leaking.

I saw the story on the propane explosion on the news in Atlanta this morning. I wondered if it could be heard or seen in The Villages. Didn't know how far Tavares was.

Tavares is probably about 25 driving miles. As the crow flies? Not sure.
