I'm glad so she's okay. </p> <p>How old was she? I couldn't tell from the video but I was so heart broken hearing her scream and think that she lost her hearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plant-explosion-in-west-texas#post-725143 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:57:59 +0000 lovehoneybee 725143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: I figured (hoped!) they were okay since he posted the video and all (probably not something you'd do if your child was hurt) but I'm relieved to hear she's okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plant-explosion-in-west-texas#post-725138 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:55:07 +0000 Shutterbug 725138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: @coacheswife123: ugh that little girl sounds so terrified!

My heart was wrenched when the explosion happened. I was praying this morning and I just couldn't help crying because of all that happened this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plant-explosion-in-west-texas#post-724784 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:26:37 +0000 runsyellowlites 724784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so "glad" to here the expected fatality count is so much less! This is still so devastating though....

What a week of tragedies. =( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plant-explosion-in-west-texas#post-724267 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:11:13 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 724267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no words. :( This is such a sad and tragic week. </p> <p>West was always a place to stop to get those awesome kolaches and is a cute little town. Definitely going to continue to pray for the families, ems and firefighters today. It is going to be really windy today, so I hope it doesn't turn into a giant wildfire. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plant-explosion-in-west-texas#post-724237 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 07:53:07 +0000 Bookish 724237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very sad, indeed. We just drove through West on our way to Dallas a couple weeks ago. :( </p> <p>Looks like the latest news is 5-15 dead, over 180 injured with major property damage in the area. I think we are going to go donate some baby clothes today, they are setting up donation points in our town. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plant-explosion-in-west-texas#post-724185 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 07:09:32 +0000 Anagram 724185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was so sad when I heard the news on NPR this morning. Like everyone else in Texas, my favorite place to stop driving from Dallas to Austin was Czech Stop in West. Even if I'd *just* eaten, I would insist my husband stop there. There are no better kolaches in the world and I feel really sad about the explosion! </p> <p>It's such a tiny town....I know this is going to affect everyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plant-explosion-in-west-texas#post-724166 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 06:59:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 724166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: OMG!!</p> <p>Ugh.

It looks so awful &amp; it's so heartbreaking to hear from people who have lost their pets, homes &amp; aren't certain if their loved ones are ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plant-explosion-in-west-texas#post-724088 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 05:23:38 +0000 Smurfette 724088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sad!

It is all over my Facebook feed and it doesn't look good at all. My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected. It is so scary when you realize how much of an impact a plant explosion can have when you have grown up around plants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plant-explosion-in-west-texas#post-724016 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:49:52 +0000 runsyellowlites 724016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Thanks for thinking of me! There are alot of plants like this down here! We have DuPont &amp; Formosa near by! It's scary to think about one of them having an accident like this! We used to do drills at the hospital to prepare! I'm scared to see what the fatality rate is in this. :,(</p> <p>I was actually just getting into bed when I saw it on fb... Now I can't sleep. It's been a terribly tragic week in the news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plant-explosion-in-west-texas#post-724015 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:45:42 +0000 HLK208 724015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad to know you aren't near it! I remember reading a few bees live in/near Waco. My sister, in Austin, didn't feel anything but that's a little over 100 miles away. I guess people in Dallas felt it too which is 100 miles away.</p> <p>Keeping all of the residents of West in my prayers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plant-explosion-in-west-texas#post-724014 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:39:42 +0000 runsyellowlites 724014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Near Waco this evening a plant exploded injuring hundreds! There's no fatality count at this time but with a blast that was heard over 40 miles away I'm sure it's not looking good!</p> <p>Please keep these Texas families in your thoughts &amp; prayers!</p> <p>ETA: As many as 60-70 deaths projected. :(<br /> <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/18/texas-explosion-west-fertilizer-plant_n_3105341.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/18/texas-explosion-west-fertilizer-plant_n_3105341.html</a> </p>
