There was a tremendous explosion in Milwaukee, WI (where I live)...It was of a company called Faulk...It's only like 20 blocks away from where I work and it was tremendous. It was a 4 alarm fire, about 30 people injured with severe burns. Everyone in Milwaukee or even surrounding counties could feel the shake of the explosion...It was a pretty scare thing to see and hear, especially when one is coming to work.
There were highways that are near that building and people on highways really felt the tremble. I came to work at 8:05 am (central time) and was outside for a bit talking to someone when all I heard was a loud BOOM!!! I literally jumped cuz it sounded like something hit really hard the building, so I looked around and nothing until I saw a really dark pitch, black smoke coming to the sky. It was scary and I pray for those people that have loved one's working there.
Just wanted to share with everyone this horrific crisis happening over here.
Pray for those families that have someone wounded or lost someone in this very ugly explosion.

I had not heard about this? What kind of company is Faulk? Not far from where I live there are chemical plants that seem like they are always having some kind of explosion or fire. I remember when I lived in Iowa there was always a fear of an explosion at the Quaker Oats factory with the grain elevators.
