I have seen elderly people on oxygen, lighting up a cig. There have been many instances of people getting burned this way.

I don't know why they are using the word "explode".

Dramatic affect. The same reason the term “AK47” or "Military style assault rifle” or “semi-automatic machine gun” is used for rifles that clearly are not.

WFAA claiming ONE fatality. That sounds much better than what they were saying of FOX.

Some of these poor folks must feel that fate is hounding them.
They evacuate NO to go to Houston and then evacuate Huston...

How terrible. I just feel so bad for all these poor people having to flee the storm in the first place, and now this.

Let's hope so, but from the looks of that bus...

The sheriff just spoke live on FOX here in Dallas - he said only about half the folks got off the bus....14 or 15. The bus was carrying 45-50 elderly evacuees
