Happy Fucking Christmas To You Too, Buncefield Fuel Depot

Looked out of my window this morning to see a massive 'rain cloud' above my house

Thats just Nasty- whats happened, a fire or something?

My big sister used to live in Kerseley Village just outside of Coventry and literally over the road (as in right outside their house) there was a colliary (where they dig out coal and process it), everytime it rained, the rain would leave grey marks on clothes. There was also dust around always- so in the garden if furniture was left out they'd be black in a few weeks- horrible! Thankfully they have closed it now.

There was an explosion, and it's thought that there could be more. It's still on fire now, I think.

And fuck, your poor sister! It would have driven me insane!

Yeah its still on fire, its going to take a while to burn down the fuel.

Luckily no-one has been killed so thats one bonus we have so far.

my mum got woken by the explosion of that at 6 this morning; 5 or 6 people are in hospital with 80/90% third degree burns, so i think a few fumes are the least of peoples worries atm.
