If it's out in the boondocks, some folks have pretty big propane tanks.

A bunch of people on different twitter feeds talking about a train derailment in Alvarado. That makes the 6th different thing related to this explosion I have heard in the last 30 mins.

Yeah we have felt three quakes in a matter of days from those centered around Azle. You wonder if that is a good thing that pressure is being dissipated or portends a BIG event. Frenzied talk already of fracing and all that...

Yes, one of those would be felt for miles if it exploded.

Per DFW Scanner, there is some kind of a gas rig on the property.

Meth Lab maybe.

Yep, I’m up on North side of the Big C and you are to the southwest, just the other side of Walmart down 2555 to 709.

Talking about those 3 feet in dia, 10-12 feet long.

Ruptures and doesn't ignite until well mixed with air.

Think that would make a hell of a boom........Like a fuel air bomb.

Okay assuming the explosion was a log cabin, possibilities include:
  1. Meth lab
  2. Jealous Brick layers
  3. Terrorist training - suicide vests 101
  4. Terrorist supply explosion
  5. Incarnation of John Wilkes Booth confusing log cabin with Lincoln logs.
  6. Average Texan arsenal accidentally exploding
  7. Mob hit
  8. Gas leak explosion
  9. Idiot storing fertilizer indoors
  10. Lady Killer's explosive expert IBS incident
  11. Democrat explodes while trying to sign up on Obamacare.
