I have an eye surgeon in my level 3 class. He even brought in diagrams.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

There's a picture at [link] but you can't really tell that well. Supposedly all the other houses are fine.
eta: based on the time, I guess I didn't hear it. It was some other random weird boom noise!

Yikes, indeed! I hope everyone's all right.
I remember when a refinery holding tank exploded back when I was in high school. It was about 15 miles away, yet the house still shook a bit, and everyone was outside looking towards the northeast. The workers cleaning the outside of the tank (and causing the explosion when they used blowtorches to do some improvised sandblasting) were vaporized. I lost a second cousin when the grain elevator he was working at spontaneously combusted--that one cracked windows for miles around.
