There are reports that it was heard and/or felt near Tech and all the way to Idalou and the Strip (pretty much the entire east half of Lubbock from North to South--we're talking a 15 mile radius?)

"The company repairs cargo tanks" Someone tried to cut into a tank from which the explosive vapors had not been purged?

PS: there is a report on another board from someone at 69th & Frankford (way down in SW Lubbock), that they heard it and thought it was "thunder". same thread reports that someone in a building downtown felt the building "sway".

Someone tried to cut into a tank from which the explosive vapors had not been purged?That'd be my bet. I know a guy who did that with the gas tank of a 50' sport fishing boat. He survived. The boat didn't.

That's what it sounds like to me. It's too cold and windy here today for a spark to have flown too far.

check this out, snipped from a kcbd.com update
The explosion could be heard and felt from miles away. NewsChannel 11 newsroom took calls from concerned citizens most of the morning. A Lubbock Police Sgt. reported the blast lifted the floor of the Lubbock Police Department.

Lifted the floor! Just spoke to my daughter and she didn't feel a thing - but she was in class so maybe was distracted.

Thanks for the posting the map.
Trivia - I see Texas Tech University is in that area.
I'm not familiar with Texas.
I learn something new everyday.

Some people at work heard it (I work on the north side of the TTU campus). My office is below ground and I heard nothing.
