5 mins later return to the kitchen wondering what the bang was...
The Peters Factory gained national attention and headlines due to an explosion on July 15, 1890. At 3:50 p.m., a defeaning blast could be heard for 6 miles around the Kings Mills / Mason area, due to a train car colliding with two load cars packed with 800 kegs of gun powder at the site. Along with thousands of cartridges igniting, and a total amount of 1,600 kegs exploding in chain reaction, 11 employees were instantly killed, with several others later dying in emergency care. Although this picture is taken from one window to another, its hard not to think of that story.
Lost in the depths, the depths of your eyes
I couldn't resist, why should I?
I want to relax, I want to feel free

A large build up just to the south of Rockhampton I spotted. We didn't get hit by it though. Native aerial explosions. Just awesome power
Bonnie and Evan, playing a game of Exploding Kittens. This is what we were doing on the morning of the eclipse, since it was cloudy and not particularly noticeable from Seattle anyway. I turned on the NASA live feed at one point, so we at least saw what the eclipse looked like from Mazatlán, Mexico, but that was about the extent of our eclipse celebration.
One morning, around 10 AM, I was walking my dog when I saw what looked like a white van belching fire and smoke from underneath the engine. While I was walking by, though, an owner ran frantically to the van and moved it, to reveal that the smoke was in fact blowing from underground - a manhole cover. Nervous, I hurried my dog upstairs (this was taking place pretty much directly across the street from my apartment building). Moments after I got upstairs, there was an explosion, and I called 911 (as, apparently, had many others) to report a fire. It was the first time in my life I'd ever dialed 911 to report an emergency (though I'd dialed once before after a minor car accident).
I had to leave not long after, and as I did, 171st was covered in a pall of smoke, and it was roped off - only residents were allowed to go by. The manhole cover was gone, and smoke and flames were bellowing out of the hole in the ground. It's a good thing that dude moved his van! Anyway, being oh-so-attached to my camera, and being, as it were, on the scene - I've never lived so close to something like that before! - I snapped a few shots as best I could.
"Bless my cotton socks, I'm in the news!"
