No lightning for sure. I live 4 miles from the city. We certainly heard and felt the blast. A fire caused the explosion and the cause is being investigated and will be determined. No criminal intent is suspected.

The plant was built before the schools, nursing home and houses were. The town was named for Thomas West, a railroad man. The majority of the people are of Czech descent and they have the best Kolaces in Central Texas. Westfest is celebrated on Labor Day weekend and the highlight is the Czech dancers and Pivo! West will need all the help from good American neighbors that can be afforded. The people here are a very proud and industrious people and the world can rest assured that each donation will be put to good use. PointWest Bank is accepting donation to the Survivors of the West Explosion. I am proud to call them my neighbors.

Sorry folks, all that blather about the majority wanting more gun control is just that, blather conjured up by a bogus poll . The Supreme Court has already ruled on my rights to own firearms.

The Greatest Generation. Rest well old soldier.

The definition of compromise to the left is "do it my way"
