They don’t know what caused it yet.

Hope it was industrial area and majority of people were gone home

I felt it! I'm curious to hear what caused it.

EDIT: propylene tank at Watson Grinding and Manufacturing.

I was looking at the map, mostly homes and small businesses. What is the facility that blew?

[Honker]

Local news reporting it was a tank of propylene that exploded, which is made from propane and is highly flammable.

I work about a mile down the road from Watson Grinding, came in this morning and the door frames to our warehouse from the main offices are all messed up. Doors will not close. Also have a bunch of dust all over my desk from the ceiling tiles.

watson valve is what Im hearing?

If you notice in that video posted you see the explosion then the camera is knocked out or off a moment later. I assume thats the shock wave doing that

[Jcjohnson]

Prayers sent, sure seems to be a lot of this stuff going on down that way lately

I live about 3 miles from there and it rattled my windows, loudest explosion I have ever heard. I suspect it was an oxygen tank that went off.
