(CBS 11 News) DALLAS Several explosions and a large fire rocked an industrial area near downtown Dallas Wednesday morning.
The business, Southwest Industrial Gases, Inc., is believed to be a welding supply company. It went up in flames at about 9:30 a.m.
Several tanks of material believed to be fuel could be seen exploding and throwing large pieces of shrapnel throughout the area.
The scene was located near the I-30 and I-35 interchange, and both highways were shut down in the area.
Police were evacuating within a half-mile radius of the blasts.
There was no word on any injuries as of 10:00 a.m.

Prayers up for anyone that may be affected by the fire and explosion.
This is a monstrous traffic shutdown. What a mess.

Our gas prices are going to go up on this news.
I know it has nothing to do with oil or refineries, but it seems like “any excuse in the book” is a way of life.
And why are coffee prices still so high?

CBS 11 reporting that a truck “caught fire” and set fire to the oxy/acetylene storage.
Cylinders were blown through the air over the freeway. Cylinders are still exploding at this time per live reporter.

TB2K had the story at 9:56 AM. Given that the latest post there is at 10:34, I have to believe that the post time is given as CDT, which means they also were scooped by Freepers.
