It's on the southwest edge of downtown near Reunion arena. It's a company that fills and re-fills cylinders with gas for forklifts and welding supplies. Pieces of cylinder bottles were being blown all around. They closed the roadways around I-30 & I-35 as well as streets leading out of downtown into Oak Cliff.

Pretty amazing only a couple of people had any injuiries based on the video that I've seen. What a mess it will be later today at rush hour if those major roads are still closed.

Sweetpea called and said they could hear tanks exploding from her building! They had live video on wfaa.com and it was horrendous.

Hey John, my son in law works at the Hospital close by and while all the nearby businesses were evacuated, the hospital folks had to stay. He said it sounded like mortar rounds cooking off and everyone was flinching big time with each explosion.

Le spouse, who works in Ft Worth (we live over in east Dallas), ended up driving up to DWF airport and then down into dallas to avoid the mess
