My local station here in austin is reporting that one hospital had to turn some emergency vehicles away and reroute them to a community center.


They say people nearby are being picked up from their houses on school buses to get them out of he area.

Does anyone have a live feed for a local station that is covering it?

That sounds more rumor though....hard to believe they wouldn't set up a triage in the parking lot.

They say now that emergency responders are taking injured to a community center.

It may have been faster to get them to the next hospital i believe there are 3 in the area. One a trauma center, another a sister to hillcrest. All of the er's are going to be flooded

Also, props to SailorMoon for not naming this thread ''Explosion at the ..." because that would have been realllly confusing for people who use tabs.

If true, it would be one of the worst explosion in years.
