I always said "it could never happen here" but it did. A tanker train full of propane caught fire, and when they explode it can flatten several square miles. They evacuated half the town and people had no where to go - all of the local hotels filled up quickly. Hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, fires... Be prepared!
