I was sat having my brew and toast this morning, next thing the house shook and there was a massive boom noise so I legged it upstairs to make sure the wife was OK then went outside around the back of the house to see if the chimney was still there. Couldn't see anything around the back so went around the front to find half the street out on the pavement about 10 minutes later loads of police/fire sirens so don't know whats gone on. It sounded underground to me but it was close where ever it was :(
-
Sure you weren't sat on the loo at the time... :D
-
Mmmmmm sounds like gas??? reminds me of the Dudley earthquake in 2002.

No but there was very nearly a mess in my trollies when it went off ;D
-
With it being Northwich, I`d suspect something happened at Brunner Mond?

There are massive underground gas storage tanks about 2 miles from here and I thought it was either them or an old salt mine collapsing but the sirens sound very close
-
Its a gas leak about 200 meters away :o
-
If its anything to do with Gas ill probably i will probably hear about it later.
-
Its a leak at Broken Cross. Bet its very broken now ;D
-

half 7 so hopefully the place was empty.
-
Not the sort of thing you want to hear at any time of the day. :( :(
Hope there are few, if any, injuries. :y
-
It is good that you and your family are safe Pete :y :y :y :y
No doubt it will be in the news later! ;)
-
I dont think there was anyone hurt ;)
I've just driven past and what is a big surprise is there is no damage to the front of the building, not even the windows but the conservatory on the rear of the building is non existant anymore. This is obviously a small explosion but I felt it from 150 meters away and it shook the house, what must a car bomb feel like, I hope I never have to go through something like that :o :(

My wife used to live down the road from Hendon Police training centre and Miill Hill Army Barracks during the IRA bombings of the late 80's early 90's...
One quiet evening a explosion about a mile away blew her front door open...
-
A mate of mine was in the Tavern in the Town when the IRA bomb went off.
He survived, but has never ever talked about it.

'The practice's owner Claire Roberts said if the explosion had occurred before the clocks went back the building would have been occupied.
Very True.

Very True.
...and of course the gas leak may well have been noticed and an explosion prevented?

Very often the case ime. The ones who have lots of war stories to tell, were usually nowhere near when things happened. :y
