Watch out for panic buying of petrol now.

 

I filled up this morning knowing that panic buying would strike. I was pretty much empty so was gonna fill up today anyway but I did it sooner rather than later in the day.

lol, because fuel is so expensive up here anyway i seen a load filling up before we go back over the £1 a litre again!

Would a fire of this magnitude register on staellite images?

 

If so, has anyone found any yet?

 

Ah! I've just seen an amazing image on BBC 24 - wonder where that's from.

Not as good as the pictures on the news but this one is taken out of my bedroom window. Only thought to take a photo after the flames had died down a bit

Ditto. Plus, once they announce on the news that you shouldn't panic buy, you know damn well everyone will

Here's a link to Reuter's that has a slide show of over 100 pictures taken after the explosion. Glad to hear that you all are hanging in there.

I'm a hundred or so miles away. Had just gone outside to get some stuff together when I heard what I thought was a sea mine exploding, something that still happens 60 years after the war. It wasn't until last night that I put two and two together. Some bang. That was an expensive fag!
