I live about 10 miles from this as well but was near the High School when it happened. I heard the rumble and the sky lit up as if the sun was rising. There was an eerie feeling in the air watching the explosion pulsating in the sky and then seeing a mushroom cloud.....crazy....

Brian Milam posted a pic from WKYT in Lexington about 35-40 miles away and you could see the glow from the explosion. Crazy.

someone tonight at the Lee/Estill game said it blew an 8 feet hole. Someone else said they heard it was bomb which I doubt it was that

My daughter lives in Lexington; believe it or not, I could see the glow from her porch.

I understand there were no injuries; and I'm thankful for that.
