The fact that I live very close to there is scary I was just sleeping and I hear the explosion I wake up to my windows shattered

no worries, it's just the Astros destroying the rest of the evidence from their cheating scandal.

My uncle lives over 1.5 miles away and he said his entire house shook and he thought something exploded in his attic. The local news are reporting at least 2 dead and the nearby houses within half mile suffered from a range of damages including roofs collapsing, windows shattered including car windows parked outside. They are saying there are debris scattered within a mile of the blast.

Wait, who has a porch camera that can be knocked over? Wouldn't any camera like a ring doorbell be attached to the wall and thus cannot be knocked over?
