No Dr. Phil today

I turn on the TV and ongoing coverage of an explosion in NE Des Moines of a Barton Solvents with dangerous flammable chemicals with 50 gallon drums exploding and several area fire departments taking a defensive position. News crews are forced back so the fire hose water looks like white lines. They are busy warning not to travel into NE side or they will be turned around. Police are directing people off the Interstates. Neighbors are not allow to take pets out because they are worried about the toxic fumes that could be spreading. They are tracking the smoke now in Ankeny to the north of Des Moines. Apparently it has been burning for 2 hours. Though on a positive note, all company employees are accounted for and there is only one minor injury. Post later. Bye!
