These were taken from the north east of the blast, at around 4:30am. There was a very loud sound of gas excaping almost like a jet engine starting. Tanks were still exploding every minute and I could see clearly large pieces of glowing red tanker flying 100 feet or more and landing in the lot and buildings to the north. Looking at these pictures again I wonder if perhaps I was too close for safety sake.
