Posted on 03/23/2005 11:26:08 AM PST by Siobhan

Talking to my sister who is in Galveston, Texas today. A loud explosion -- should the houses, rattled windows, knocked a picture off the wall. Large black cloud in sky perhaps the Causeway or Texas City.....

Just reporting what she's saying.....

Used to live in the Freeport area. We always kind of halfway expected something like that around there.

Just spoke with ABK who works at the Port of Houston and she hasn't heard anything yet. She said she'd check it out and call me if she heard anything.
