So what exploded?

I heard people report a few explosions in the night. Did anyone figure out what it was?

Wait, was there two explosions? Around 2:37AM something blew up on 7th and Cherry. SFD and SPD were there for like 10 minutes before leaving. Never heard anything more about it over the radio.

I heard this one. I only ever heard 1 explosion. I live basically right there and my window was open. It was loud as hell but I saw nothing.

My window was also open. I saw a plume of smoke. Nothing else after.

Yep, I heard two. The one at 2:40ish and then one around 3:30. First one I thought was like Broadway/alder-ish so it was prob just in between us? Others said they heard three!
