How's everyone doing in the Northern London suburbs? That oil fire looks horrible.

Jimmy only one person has been hurt, no one I know of lives in Hemel Hempstead although a few people live within 20 miles or so of it. Thankfully our fantabulous emergency services kicked in and its well under control. God bless our firefighters and police! :)

Glad to hear it Helen and that it was likely just an accident. Bleaugh.

Hey Charlie - thankfully it occurred at 6.00am, or else who knows ...

I live about 20 miles away and the blast woke me up. I said to my wife "What the f*ck was that?"

"Don't worry" she replied "It's probably just one of the kids falling out of bed again" 8)

We felt it too, the house shook, luckily we and my parents who all live quite near were unaffected as the wind blew the smoke in the opposite direction.

Terrible thing, and INCREDIBLE that no-one was badly hurt.
