It’s got to be bad. Scott and White Hospital, 30 miles south of Waco in Temple, is told to expect between 100 and 200 patients.

If other storage facilities were nearby, another explosion might happen tommorrow.

Lesson from history of the Great Texas City Explosion of the SS Grandcamp on 16Apr47. the following day, 17Apr47 (66 years ago):

The ship SS High Flyer, in dock for repairs and also carrying ammonium nitrate, was ignited by the first explosion; it was towed 100 feet from the docks before it exploded about sixteen hours later, at 1:10 A.M. on April 17. The first explosion had killed twenty-six Texas City firemen and destroyed all of the city’s fire-fighting equipment, including four trucks, leaving the city helpless in the wake of the second explosion.
