HOUSTON -- Firefighters are on the scene of a huge explosion and fire near Fondren and South Main in Southwest Houston.
Residents reported feeling the explosions from miles away just before 6 p.m.
Air 11 pilot Mike Silman first spotted the flames from the downtown area.
"We saw this thing when it happened -- huge explosion, I'm talking flames 100 feet or so in the air," Silman said.
It appears to be some kind of manufacturing plant. It's not clear if there are any injuries, but the fire department reports all employees are apparently accounted for.
Greg Ervin said he and his wife felt the explosion from 20 miles away.
"We were in the upstairs loft of our home in Inwood North and the blast vibrated our home and shook the windows," Ervin said in an e-mail to 11 News. "It sounded like a distant sonic boom."
No on the other side of Houston near Ssugarland
