apparently an oil depot has blown up near hemel hempstead, which is a few miles from my house.

It woke me up too, I intially thought there was a fire in myy block of flats, only when i called my parents at the other end of town and they said they heard it i knew it was something big. The whole sky is masked out by a giant plume of thick smoke

i don't think i'm going anywhere near it again, my throat and chest are feeling pretty rough as a result. got all the windows closed.
the lighting outside is very surreal at the moment.

yup, woke me up too, I'm in Harrow. I heard the shockwave and the whole building shook. First I thought it was a sonic boom from some low flying jet fighers from the nearby airbase. Apparently they could hear the blast from Holland which is a bit far-fetched.
