DALLAS (AP) - A series of explosions at a facility that sells liquefied natural gas sent flaming debris raining onto highways and buildings near downtown. At least two people were injured, hospital officials said.



Authorities evacuated a half-mile area surrounding the Southwest Industrial Gases, Inc. facility, and shut down parts of two of the area's busiest highways, Interstates 30 and 35.



"I thought it was artillery. It was just coming just boom, boom, boom," said witness Tony Love, a former Army soldier.



At the edge of the evacuation zone is Dallas County's main jail and criminal courts building, but operations continued there uninterrupted, said Deputy Michael Ortiz of the Dallas County Sheriff's Department.

Who said anything about a body count?
No one died, thankfully.
I got like five text messages about it, telling me to turn on the news this morning.
It looks horrible.
