Anyone else feel that? Happened at 4:30 A.M.


Update: Watson Grinding & Manufacturing had a tank explode.

Massive blast. I immediately looked at weather app thinking thunder and lightning. It looks like I am approximately 5 miles away from the location.

Felt it over in East Downtown. Sounded like rolling thunder and I immediately thought it is not supposed to rain today.

Heard it from 10 miles away. I thought the revolution had begun.

Heard and house shook a bit In Kingwood. Had no idea what it was until now, thanks for the thread.

I’m about 20 miles to the west southwest of the intersection of Clay and Gessner and it woke me up. This had to be more than a gas line.

Preliminary reports are saying it looks to be caused by a gas leak at a valve manufacturer


The jokes write themselves.

Seriously I hope everyone is alright.

I’m on I10, and Bunker Hill, one block over from Gessner.
I thought my house had been hit by a semi truck or canon fire—and it’s a quiet residential neighborhood.
That was insane.
