Apparently a gas explosion. Which would be the third reported worldwide today.
Explosion / Fire at Bacton Gas Terminal, EnglandOne dead after gas explosion in Lyon, FranceInteresting.
Also, and this came from
GLP, so take it with a large grain of salt, someone is claiming that a local radio station reported Homeland Security vehicles at the mall
before the explosion.
