this explosion was located about 15 minutes drive to the North-west of where I live. I have to say, we had a lot of lightning and storm activity yesterday afternoon and also early last night, and it was quite a chilly night by early August standards in Toronto ( around 11C 52F) so I slept with my windows open, and I didn't hear anything at all. Granted, it was around 4am and I would have been in a deep sleep.

I only found out about it this morning.
That video though is chilling.

Did the original fire/explosion come from the storms? I presume the second one(the one shown)was a propane tank exploding??
