Fricking smoke cloud from the oil plant explosion has just reached London..
Weirdness, one half of the sky looks like its night, the other daylight/sunset..
It's awesome for all the wrong reasons...

It really is breathtaking..
Though I think it must have been even more so for the poor sods in Hemel Hempstead...

how they got away with 36 injured and no deaths (yet) is a wonder

I think it'll be a bit like the tube bombings..
minor injuries to begin with then the real extent becomes true..
There seems to be a penchant for disinformation in this country these days..
I mean for about two hours after the tube bombings it was all "electrical accident/minor injuries/small bomb"..
Fact is, four incidents on the tube at the same time is pretty clear cut case..
Worst of it was, my work didn't even tell us about it until about 2pm in an email.. despite the fact we're based right in the City...

The BBC story might shed some light on it:

And apparently the smoke-cloud is being "exported" to France as we speak

My dad cocked his head and said what's that loud banging noise, and we live three hours away from London.

Where in Holland, probably somewhere coastal... In Belgium I couldn't
Has the smoke cleared up a bit by now by the way? I heard they're tracking the smoke with airplanes and see if it's really poisonous at the moment?

My sister and her husband flew over the fire on their way to Brisol Airport. It was a spectacular view apparently. I do wonder what the hell caused it though.
