So, we went to the mall with Beth's sister last night, then got some movies and decided to sleep over at Beth's parents' place. We put Addie to bed, and settled down for the night on the couches. Then, at about 4:00am, we were woken up by this:
We were woken up by the first blast - before the video starts. We all got dressed and thought about getting out of the house. when the second big blast came (about 1:50 on the video) we were about to leave the house, but this one lit up the house like you wouldn't believe. It felt like the blast came from above the house, and it knocked the power out.
We got in the car, and headed home to our apartment - and just in time, because they closed the highway minutes later. We got back, went up to the apartment, and sorted ourselves out. Then we went to move the car, and in true Canadian style, went to Tim Horton's to recouperate. Good old Timmy's.
We finally got some sleep at about 7am.
It turns out that it was caused by a fire at a propane depot, just 3 blocks away from where we were sleeping. Check out this news report and this one for a bit more information about what happened. It looks like nobody was seriously hurt, but they don't know what caused it yet. What an odd night.
Right, I'm off to Beth's parents to pick up all the stuff we left there...
