Unknown explosion with fire just occurred a few minutes ago - California (News vanity)
video on YouTube ^ | Self

Posted on 12/30/2013 4:00:15 PM PST by Neil E. Wright

I had just gotten out of the shower, and was getting dressed for work, when I heard a loud explosion. I looked out the window and saw a large plume of smoke.

I went out with my digital camera and recorded the video I posted on my YouTube channel. I don't know what exploded yet, and I don't have time to check because it is almost time for me to start the job. I'll probably find out later what happened.

The video is HERE or at the link above.

Looks like that was from 2011...meanwhile the guy on twitter seemed to be seeing something current, as in maybe 45 min ago.

The darker smoke looks like fuel from a vehicle and the lighter smoke looks like a resultant brush fire. Good thing it was outside of town and not nearer to you.

Maybe a drone took out a barking dog.

Unless this is an old story, the Russians are reporting on it.

Intrigue builds.

The Blythe Police Department watch commander says there is a large brush fire, but denies there was any explosion.

Google maps says Blythe is only about 440 miles away from Fresno. Maybe less as the crow flies

Thanks for the news. This is a first, a shower post that actually provided info instead of asking for it.

Too bad it wasn’t California. Oh, well - one of these days.

How far away do you think it was? That’s pretty big by the looks of it.

The airport is just west of downtown just about where the shadow of the UFO is on the left side of the map.

Yep, that’s the signature for an explosion. Could have been A- a plane crash explosion, B- a house natural gas leak explosion, C- a rail car derailment explosion D- a fertilizer plant rogue spark explosion, E- a VC sapper setting off satchel charges along the fence perimeter explosion, F- a Taliban/Muslim male between the ages of 15 and 45 either shopping or traveling explosion... pretty long list eh? Got any more clues? Hear anybody yelling Allah Ahkbar over and over right before, or right after the explosion?

All seriousness aside, you may qualify for induction into the freeper hall of fame (whether you like it or not) for reporting a significant event ahead of the media, on the order of the freeper reporting the shuttle disintegrating over west Texas, a full ten minutes before anyone else. Just sayin’
