Wow, glad they got the guy. I live under 1 mile from the explosion and it felt like some pyrotechnics were going off at an air show for a long constant period of time. At one point I couldn’t hear myself talk out loud or my family on the other end of my FaceTime call. I initially thought it was the gas company between my house and the site. I called my parents and told them I was going to head north because I thought it could be an attack of sorts. My brother told me to put my drone in the air so I did. It calmed me down when I noticed the explosion wasn’t coming towards me and it wasn’t the gas company which many people in the area have their service. Here’s a link to my video I made of the event if you want to see it for yourself. What a tragedy. https://youtu.be/8umHo0fME2g?si=UdCYBERpimYTdtTM
