Explosion

Late last night there was an explosion at the plant. I don't know anything except that one minute I heard a loud "BOOM" and about 2 seconds later there was a shockwave that hit the house and knocked things off the wall. I ran outside as soon as I felt the shockwave and I could literally hear the roar of the flame all the way here. And the plant is maybe 7 miles from here. So you can just imagine how big the flame was if I could hear it loud and clear from such a distance. I don't know the extent of the damage done, but I have heard that one person died. Possibly two. I also heard that alot of people are injured, which is to be expected. I'm just glad that Dad wasn't out there. Dad and I have had our share of problems lately, but it would still kill me if he would have been hurt out there. And I don't even want to think what would have happened if Dad had died out there. That would have rocked me to the core, especially since I practically grew up in the chemical plant world. And I have family who have worked out there in that mess. I wouldn't be able to surround myself with Borger, because this is a town that revolves around the work that the chemical plant gives. That really is the lively hood of Borger. An explosion here will basically end this town forever. I'm glad that it wasn't too bad. Now all I can do is pray that something like this doesn't happen again.
