Xander:
In case you haven’t already heard, a massive explosion in Toronto occured Sunday morning at 3:50am. After the initial explosion, some people began to take videos of the fire. In the following video, at time index 1:50, you can see another explosion that is reminiscent of a nuclear blast.
Apparently all the windows in a several block radius had their windows blown out, and some people were even blown off their beds as the orange/white glow flooded the sky.

This happened about 30km from my Mississauga home.

I thought for a second that it was really far away then i saw the BIG flare and all i thought was… WoW! That must have been terrifying for some people…
Sojourn:
yep, as a result of this, the busiest stretch of highway was shut down on Sunday as people returned from cottages, etc. the blast woke up a partner at my firm. I’m wondering if we’re going to get any work out of this :S
I was worried my best friend was going to be called into work. she’s a cop in the neighbouring division. 
luckily, she wasn’t called in. 
Ghrask Dragh:

All the best to the family of the firefighter who died.

Vexxus:
Pretty crazy stuff… very glad I wasn’t in the area at this time.
In an interview on the news today people were returning to their homes, and some guy said that his entire house had a burnt-in odour of propane (or at the very least, the nasty stench they add to the odourless gas so you know its there).
Yuck.
