We live a bit from Aberdeen Proving Grounds, the Army is always exploding stuff there and the noise travels quickly over the waterways. I thought they screwed up and that this was a mistake on their part, lol. It was very loud, even for them! It is really amazing that no one was hurt by the blast! Especially the people that were close enough to video it.

Kim: Too funny, I called my DH first too! He said I need to keep FB up all the time to find out what's going on, he knew what it was before it hit the news!

Brit: Wow that is just insane! That's over 50 miles from here!

Oh my, very scary! I'm glad that everyone is ok.

Thanks everyone!

The news has reported that the only reason no one got hurt in the building right next to the tracks that sustained damage was because everyone went outside to look at the fire initially. Then one of the owners told them to get in their cars and leave, which they did.

They showed pics of the damage... all the furniture was blown all over the place. If they had stayed, some would have definitely been hurt or even killed. Thank goodness their boss was thinking on his feet and insisted they all go home!

I'm a little late to this conversation, but we certainly did hear about it all over the national news. I believe the train was a CSX. My DH is in the railroad business, so we were particularly interested in the cargo, etc. So glad things are okay for you, Kathy, and everyone near this too.
