There was a horrible natural gas explosion in Philadelphia, MS about 2 hours ago. I'm in town visiting my parents this weekend and Grandma's neighbor called when he heard the emergency call on his scanner. The story and pictures are already up at the Neshoba Democrat website. We've talked to several people who live closer to town and they have said there is a lot of damage in town an windows blown out at the hospital where Mom works. We are about 15 miles out of town so we aren't anywhere near it and haven't wanted to go into town and get in the way.
This seems so much more frightening here than it would in Jackson. Granted, there probably would have been more injuries in Jackson, but chances are we wouldn't have known anybody that was hurt. In a town this small, there's a pretty good chance we do. I thank God it wasn't any worse, that so far the injuries are minimal, and pray for those that have been hospitalized.

My Boyfriends parents live out off of 16 about 15 miles, by the Fords store.. anyhow.. they heard the felt it there... they live in the sticks... where at night when you turn the light off.. you cant see your hand infront of you.. YIKES!
oops I meand BOYFRIEND not boyfriends... ooohhhlllaaaahlllaaah.. I do like the plural sound.. but it is only singular! :(
Clucky - dad found it very interesting. He found one uncle and a former neighbor. He said that although he doesn't remember it being quite that exaggerated, he certainly agrees that LBJ and the FBI were Satan.
eener - my fam is out toward Arlington, so we know all about the sticks! Can't even see the road from my folks place. They build it in the middle of a 98 acre pine tree farm!
