I live in North Pekin, Illinois and about three blocks from my house a propane and propane accessory store is exploding as I type. My son just called and said they are evacuating this area. The police have the highway 29 closed by my house.
I don't know how long I will be able to stay here, I can smell the propane already. Life flight helicopters are landing now. I may have to leave and be unable to respond to questions. News reportersare in front of my house with their cameras and have already started asking me their inane questions.

Tell the reporters the all-clear has been sounded and they can go to the site and take pictures.

Oh dear! Take care of yourself and get out asap.
BTW, Hank Hill is not going to be happy.

Run, if only to get away from the news reporters.

The fire seems to be under control now and the explosions have stopped but the fourth life flight helicopter just landed and left real quick, that doesn't look good.
My son is a cop in E.P. he just called and said for me to leave now. People are still milling around in front of my house including the tv cameras

"News reportersare in front of my house with their cameras and have already started asking me their inane questions." You should be yelling that it's Bill and Hillary Clintons fault, they were trying to silence someone again.
