Not exactly a little pop!!

For those who haven't heard, the Falk corporation had a massive explosion in Milwaukee today. Speculation is that one of their 170,000lb propane tanks ignited and well...popped.

The blast could be felt all the way down in Oak Creek, a good 8-10 miles south of the blast location. It even registered on some of the seismic equipment.

I have clients who have their business within a mile of the explosion site and they felt it. Some of them thought that a truck had smashed into their buildings.

I'm sad and so sorry for those injured or killed up there. I'm hoping all the folks here and their families are ok. I see some of you on the forum...so that's reassuring.
I live about 5 blocks from a propane refilling station. Not as big as what went off in Milwaukee, but I think sometimes, big enough to be too close .
