I have a cousin who lives in England. After the explosion and fire, my mother forwarded to me some e-mails he had sent his own parents.
It seems that, every morning, my cousin would take a morning jog to the end of the local road and back -- and the end of the local road was the outer boundary of the fuel farm. From jogging it hundreds of times, he knows it's exactly 1.4 miles from his back door. They had a little greenhouse attached to their main house. The frame still stands, but most of the glass shattered out. Many of the windows in the back of the house (facing the explosion) were also shattered, and one door frame was bent a bit. Other than that, my cousin and his wife are fine. But it surely brought the thing home to me when I read his descriptions. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
