Chemical Plant Explosion in our town

We had a pretty scary event happen in our town the other night. At about 8:00p.m. I thought one of our girls fell out of there bed, at least that is what the noise I heard sounded like. My husband checked on them and came back saying they were both sound asleep. We were both pretty confused b/c we both really did hear something and yet nothing in the house was wrong. A few min. later we heard sirens driving by so we knew something had happened. Here is the link and info as to all that took place.( Click on my title Chemical Plant Explosion ) There is even a video to watch that is pretty unbelievable. Just so glad everyone is safe and no one is hurt. So glad no one was at work. My friend's husband works at this plant so we are both so happy this took place at night!



UPDATE: Evacuated residents allowed home

COLUMBUS, Wis. (AP) -- A fire at a chemical plant just outside Columbus has almost burned itself out.

Dodge County Sheriff's spokeswoman Molly Soblewski initially said the fire had gone out by 4 p.m. But she now says there are still flames in a corner of the plant.

Sheriff Todd Nehls says he went into the building around mid-afternoon with firefighters. They found flames 6 inches to 8 inches high in places.

A warehouse storing chemicals at Columbus Chemical Industries caught fire Monday night. A series of explosions forced firefighters to withdraw and let the fire burn.

Emergency workers evacuated about 140 homes Monday and closed roads around the plant. They had allowed everyone back in their homes and reopned the roads by about 4 p.m.
