    they are not sure. just looks like some kind of explosion.
    there is now smoke and amonia coming out of the building. they are moving people back further from the building. Possibly some people trapped inside. No word yet on whether they are going to evacuate the school near by.

    According to the N&O there is an Ammonia Leak and a Hazmat team has been dispatched. Although there are a lot of nastier things out there I did get a hospital visit out of that stuff once before.

    My husband makes deliveries there all the time. Luckily he wasn't there this time.

    I just pray for the people that were involved. There have been ambulances going by my window at work for over 45 minutes.

    Hope everyone is safe and that for the sake of the economey and employees that the company can recover and chooses to rebuild quickly. I know that our customers and the industry in general was shocked at how quickly we came back from our fire several years ago.
