    Yeah, saw that on the news late last night. I was kind of half asleep but from what I did hear it was a gas line explosion that destroyed over 20 homes.

    I'm a disaster worker and was mobilized for this one, working with the Red Cross setting up shelter and social services for the displaced families.

    Amazing there wasn't greater loss of life.

    They've stood down the shelter. PGE is putting everyone up in hotels. There's a virtual army of support serv ice workers deployed to the area.

    The survivors I talked to seemed to be holding up well for people who had just lost everything they owned.
