This fucker registered 2.1 on the Richter Scale, according to the USGS.  Wow.

Given the map below, one would think it will rise.


It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

So... how long until we start hearing cries of Armageddon? :whistle:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Where's the Sonic on the map?

Markers are labelled with the location of the plant and the location of the picture (The Czech Stop).

The Sonic's safe, though.  Whew.

No, the place that picture was taken from is far, far more important. :P

That took me directly to an Al Sharpton rant.  I haven't had a chance to get my coffee yet-- way too early for that shit    :glare:

According to local reporting, the West volunteer fire department knew they were in over their heads pretty quickly[1].  West PD and Fire started evacuating the nursing home and apartment building before the actual explosion.

[1] The plant was on fire for about 2 hours prior to the explosion.

All houses within 4 blocks have been destroyed, a nursing home collapsed and the middle school is on fire.

Sounds like Guild Wars 2 dilemma.

And the schools? Please tell me the schools were evacuated, too.

EDIT: Nevermind. Just saw what time the explosion was.
