Hopefully this ain't some terrorist shite, thanks for the update

Doubtful it's terrorism UNLESS they were trying to use a fuel tanker to blow up the Wallace Tunnel which is very close to where the explosion occured.

So far they are saying only one fuel barge exploded, and it was caused by static.

Hearing static caused a spark.... was an empty natural gas barge

Damn sitting here on the pier looking at an eerie glow from the tankers.
The bay is so still I could definitely see a shockwave making its way to Spanish Fort

A friend of mine in Fairhope said that he heard the 4th explosion and felt the 5th.
There have been 5 explosions so far according to the news.

Walked down to the dock and saw another explosion about 15 minutes ago. It woke up a monstrous alligator
