There was a tanker explosion 100 yards [or less] from my apartment window yesterday. It was in Grand Prairie at 360 and Post and Paddock Rd, SB on the SB Service Rd pulling into a ME owned Chevron Quik-Gas-Gro.

It exploded several times [shaking the walls] and burned out the power lines causing a 12 hour blackout to all of the apartments in this area..several thousand people.

The driver [miraculously?] escaped unharmed.

I have several digital photos that I took which I will post here in a little while.

We hear about this stuff and it happens right across the street from me.

There is a large tank farm where tankers fill up about 4 miles as the crow flies due W of me which I can see from my window and balcony. I keep an eye on that...

Pictures in a little bit...

I pray everyone is taking precautions and staying safe/

We missed you.

Hello neighbor. I didn't have a ringside seat to the tanker explosion, but I could see the smoke from my house in SW Arlington. I drive 360 M-F on my way to Dallas and feared that the hwy would need repairs. I assume it's in fine shape since I haven't heard to the contrary.

That had to scare you SHless! I know being a TM'r I would've phreaked!

Thank God you're OK! Thank God the entire gas station didn't blow! How's your hearing?

Glad you're safe, Indie.
