the Most Interesting Night of My Life...

Wow - I had an interesting night...

At 1:30 this morning I heard a .H.U.G.E explosion. It sounded like lightning struck a car outside my door and blew it up. It was insane...The whole house litterally shook. And I put my hand on the window next to me and I could feel it vibrating.

And after the explosion there was a .R.E.A.L.L.Y loud tornado like sound that didnt stop.

My older brother and I were the only ones awake in the house so I freaked. (i thought it was a tornado) so I ran and got my little brother and litterally yanked him out of bed. (he has scratches on his back now because he was on the top bunk and I pulled him down) and carried him to the pantry...Then my mom came out and ran upstairs and got my little sister. (she too thought it was a tornado)

it was crazy...It sounded like the tornado was coming from every direction. And I couldnt tell if it was getting closer or going away. The sound just kept getting louder and louder. Me and my mom finally decided that it wasnt a tornado...That it was the gas company thing about a block from my house and that something had exploded (this isnt the first time this has happened, so we knew the sound - but its never been this bad)

so I went outside with my mom to talk to some of the neighbors and they said they called the constables office and that they are advising an evacuation just incase the gas set fire.

So we got in the car and drove out of my neighborhood (my neighborhood is huge so we were several miles from it by the time we got out). And we sat around in a parking lot and waited for the "okay" from a cop, who was blocking the entrance to my neighborhood, to come back home.

Well, he finally told us we could come home. That "the area was secure"

so here I am now...Still shakin like crazy...Still scared out of my mind.

I'll have more details tomorow about what actually happened. All I really know is that one of the compressors exploded.

I'm shaking like crazy guys....
