Default There was a big explosion last night in a town called Neodesha KS.
It's about 50 miles as the crow flies from where we live. Both my wife and I heard something audible with very subsonic undertones last night, sometime around 4:00 AM. Didn't mention it to each other, I thought she was asleep and visa-versa, and thought it could possible be another minor earthquake in Oklahoma. Nope, aerosol plant blew up bigly, loud enough to be heard 50 miles away.

Nobody killed amazingly enough. Neodesha is pronounced "Neo duh shay" FYI.

People were warned that aerosol sprays would destroy the environment, but they just didn't listen.

Thing is, that's -dB, so 0 is actually the loudest and infinity silent.

EDIT! Well apparently the plant blew up around 7 AM, so that wasn't it. Nope! It was yet another earthquake in Oklahoma.

Yeah, I lived in Springfield for a short time and you Missouri people are just trolling the rest of us with that "this is how we speak English" bullshit. I ain't buying it.

Yup, they make a lot of stuff!

Isn't Neodesha where Cobalt boats is based? Or is that in Independence Kansas? I've been through Neodesha when I was a kid, childhood friend lived in Independence, KS as his dad was an executive at Cobalt...

Rumor has it that the explosion was caused by a stray bullet.
