Im sure it will be operations fault tho.

I felt the explosion working from home nearby but no alarms or alerts to Shelter In Place.

I heard it at my office across the street but it appears to be controlled now.

I’m in Dutchtown. I didn’t hear anything but there’s definitely a haze outside of my house now.

Nothing to see here.
