Danvers Explosion!!!
Ok, like at 2:46 am this morning I felt this HUGE boom and my house shook like crazy. Stuff fell in my brother's room and everyone in my house woke up.

So ya, my hometown Danvers Massachusetts is pretty much the center of attention on the news. My high school was closed (as well as all the other Danvers public schools and Bishop Fenwick). The people that had to be evacuated were sent to my high school. Houses and businesses were leveled. Nobody was killed or seriously injured which is amazing.

Basically, it was a chemical plant that exploded. People as far away as New Hampshire and Maine heard it. There were three blasts and it scared the crap out of me.

I wanted to go down there to take some pictures, but I assumed everything was blocked off. Here are some pictures I found on the internet.









I've had a snow day, a rain day, and even a cold day, but NEVER an explosion day.

P.S. When my brother came into my room at like 3 am, he said "What the hell?" and I was like, "Iraq is bombing us!" and he was like "Really?" and I said "No." Ok, so ya!

omg! It's a miracle that no one was injured, that's a relief. Eep, but it must have been scary. Well, best of luck to your town and everything!

Oh, and happy Thanksgiving!

Wow, that's horrible! I'm sorry. The worst we've had at our school is someone giving a bomb threat because they hadn't done their hw for an AP class.

But hey, explosion day + Thanksgiving break!

Haha! Yea, I'm sure all the evacuees will be gone from our High School and the chemical plant fire will be gone by Monday. But I get an extra day of vacation! :D
