Houston Building Explosion

We are OK. We are about 2-3 miles from the explosion and a lot of the roads around here are a mess with the closures near the site.

Looks like a gas leak filled a manufacturing/warehouse facility, eventually it ignited. Lots of the buildings around here are steel/sheet-metal.

Mrs. Beard was in the bathroom when it occurred. I slept through it.

Unfortunately, Houston does not have zoning, which means the backside of the business has residential neighborhoods.
