No big petrochemical plants anywhere near you really. The closest (and perhaps most volatile) plant in the area is Celanese on baseline and 50th. 5 reactors on site, organic peroxides and catalysts used with ethylene gas to manufacture high EVA plastics.
There have been decomposition on site that have caused windows to break miles away.
But ...... that's pretty far from you ...... interesting. Hopefully nothing to crazy.

Hopefully its nothing too bad  . We had a house blow up in the Douglas Glen area of Calgary last week (residential), not sure of the cause but there was a body found in the basement. Officials noted no foul play was suspected so I'm leaning towards something like a leaking propane tank stored inside or something.

Stored gas cans or propane and something like an electric light timer or battery charger setting things off?

I’m thinking it gotta be, I don’t think those houses have actual garages, it looked like a hole where a shed once was. Helicopter is still circling.

And here I thought sns2 took his new Ridgeline to the same field that he got stuck in the Suburu, and got stuck, so he blew it up in frustration.

It happened at 5:45 pretty much on the nose, my son was on his way to work and as soon as he grabbed the door handle the whole house shook. This was the second time I’ve expirienced an explosion near by so I knew right away what it was.

I texted Kurt immediately. Was worried the new Gunwerks rifle may have been damaged. Whew. Thankfully, all is good.

Don’t worry, I’m taking good care of it. I think the wife is a bit jealous, she’s been giving me attitude lately, says it takes up too much room in the bed! I told her I’d sleep in the middle if that would make her feel better....... Women

Tell her there is always the spare room
I like your wife though. You did real good.
She makes a mean bowl of chili too.

I definetly hit the jackpot. With the amount of rifles and bows she lets me bring in the door, not to mention the fishing gear, even I feel guilty sometimes, but never so much as a frown outta her.
I do keep her needs filled though, that helps

Better to have nothing for her to take half, if not all of.
Be wAry of the quiet ones they say.
