Its not too bad from what I've read. Good thing too because the wife and both daughters are in town.
There is a wild game dinner fundraiser going on.
But how about Belmont Social Club? I drove by there two days ago and it appears to have closed down.
I did notice a pretty Champion out in front of someone's place down there.

Everyone is ok from what I've heard. I'm 5 miles away as a crow fly's maybe, and it shook my house. Everyone was like wth was that at the same time. Asphalt rail blew it's top and caught some stuff on fire at PolyCo is what I've heard.

I will never forget a plant blowing up in NW Dallas when I worked for a company there during the early 70's. We could see debris blown up two to three hundred feet in the air. We thought it may have been our plant as it had gas ovens for drying our product, but it was a company a couple of blocks over from it. Evidently, there were storing some dry chemicals up in the rafters of their plant and it self-ignited. Eight people did die that afternoon in a straight line where they worked in the plant. Whoever made the decision to store the chemicals in the rafters did not remember the simple laws of physics that heat rises and it was too hot in the rafters for that chemical compound.
