A day late and a dollar short here! No, it's nowhere near me and I was even further away at an overnight so I only heard about it through a text message from my friend in Vancouver who was up watching the Olympics. The poop is going to hit the fan big time, there are always problems when you have a dangerous plant like that in a residential area. Only 2 deaths occurred because it was in the middle of the night, if it was a weekday it would have been catastrophic.

I am still in Mississauga Jo...just in central Mississauga rather than the west end. I think Sam and I are about the same distance away from the explosion site, give or take a few miles.

Pretty scary stuff though...one firefighter died :(

Did you feel it or hear it at all? - Joanne

Judles) Nope, neither. They found another body today...still about 100 homes are evacuated. Apparently they have detected asbestos in the air surrounding the area. Now all the politicians are arguing about who is to blame...who allowed a propane plant in a residential area?
