People in Salem, Alliance, Columbiana could all see it.



About a mile away.



That's a cell phone picture from about 7 miles away.


No one is reportedly injured.

Heard from a guy that lives 2 miles from where it exploded, said the heat was melting ice off his house. 2 MILES.

What the hell exploded? A chemical plant?

Edit--A gas line. Holy hell

Natural gas line.

Jeeez...

A natural gas explosion just happened in Allentown, PA on Wednesday night and killed 5 people.

Just read tonight that one could happen in Northwest Ohio too(but really couldn't it happen anywhere?)

I call bullshit

Actually not far-fetched. They showed a guy who said it felt like he was standing right beside a bonfire, and he was a mile away.

Yikes! We have a gas line running directly through our back yard (thanks a lot jerks...I can't have a pool or pond). That's scary to think about. Hope no one was injured.

Actually, this was thickthinbigred finally having a good poop!

Not bullshit, talked to a buddy that lives in Hanoverton today. He was about a mile away and said it felt like it was 50-60 degrees on his back porch.

The flames were reportedly 2,000 feet in the air for awhile--you could see it from 10-15 miles away, I believe the guy that said the ice was melting off his house.

I was told you could also see this from Sebring. I didn't hear about it until this morning but found it odd that I was able to cook my steak without lighting the stove.

You're from Sebring? No wonder you're a doucher.

Don't make him mad. He gets 'roid rage easily.

Ummmm, no. I LIVE in Sebring. I'm not from here. It wouldn't be my first choice of places to live.

And you're from???




The region just below Lebron's ballsack.

As opposed to your "yearning for little boys" rage?

It's amazing no one was injured.

Oh an lol at SQ calling someone else a doucher.

Whats up with all these natural gas lines exploding? Seems about 6 of them in last 2 weeks.

QFT...life ain't fair bitch

It was a fucking 36" gas line according to the AP article, so there was plenty of fuel for it.

I didn't notice anything here just south of Salem, didn't feel a rumble so I obviously didn't go outside to look for the lit sky.

My uncle lives 3 miles south of Salem, and 8.75 miles from the site of the explosion, as the crow flies (according to Google Earth). He felt a rumble, and said it sounded like someone was dragging one of their metal deck chairs across their concrete front patio. He went outside, and since he sets on top of a hill saw the ball of flames as plain as day. It was large enough that he thought it was much closer than it was (Salem Reservoir, or Guilford Lake). He did drive toward it somewhat, and once he got to Route 30 there was (predictably) too much traffic.

You could at least see the sky lit up (not necessarily flames) from one county away in each direction. The Youngstown news stations mentioned people noticed it in Mahoning County, as well as Lawrence or Beaver County, PA.

Let's just be glad no one was injured. Dungannon is in the middle of fucking nowhere, which definitely helped.
