I felt it and I am about 16 MILES away. I thought, at first, it was a truck bouncing on the dip in the road in front of my house but I didn't hear the usual truck noises. Then, I thought it might have been my first earthquake but then I heard about the explosion.
I read what it says on the article linked, but you have to wonder, under this administration, could this possibly be terrorism?
“...a procedure he called a “blow-down”......
Maybe they should get some new nomenclature?
Watched the press conference. While there may have been a 100 workers on the site, most of them were outside of the building at the time, because there were gas line tests in progress. And while no death is acceptable, apparently the death and injured totals will end up being much lower than earlier feared. Last I heard, there were 5 confirmed dead, 12 seriously injured. But that is a working total, and there are several people as yet unaccounted for. (a dozen or two?)
Naurally ithey already know that t was was NOT caused by terrorism. /s
