Default Propane plant explosion

Just heard on national news that there was a fire and multiple explosions at the propone factory/storage facility in Tavares last night. Was wondering if anyone heard the explosion or has additional details on the fire. The news story did not say if anyone was injured or the extent of property damage. Being "up north' I still try to keep up with local news. Thanks

Yep, could hear the explosions here in Duval...which prompted me to turn on the TV for live coverage.

Thanks for the information and the link to the other thread!
Sounds like the EMTs, Fire Fighters and other response teams did yet another GREAT job!
