More than a dozen homes damaged.. hundreds of people forced into the streets. This image is chilling. And it’s the result of a neighborhood blast in the Richmond Hill subdivision of Indianapolis.
The scene looks like one from an end-times movie. But it’s real life.
The cause of the explosion still under investigation. Natural gas is expected.
Wow…
Nothing is flawless.
And certainly the response had mistakes.
Did they do an impressive job given the circumstances? I suppose so. But it would depend on your ask, wouldn’t it..
Tourists take a swim in Venice.
Trouble is, where they are at is typically and filled with tourists..
The situation in Venice is troubling. 70% of the city is under water.
High tides and heavy rain caused the massive flooding. Tourists are wearing highwaters instead of shorts.
But the idea of people swimming in the water just for a photo op? Hope the sewage isn’t hitting into legs and feet beneath..
2 killed, 27 homes left uninhabitable after Indiana explosion
NBC News: A huge explosion in a south Indianapolis neighborhood late Saturday night killed two people and destroyed or damaged 27 homes.
The cause of the explosion and subsequent fire is still unclear. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has been called in to investigate.

I’ll make a guess and say a gas line did this .. We will see. Tragic story
New allegations being made in the General Pertraeus scandal: Was the study silenced until after the election?
Tent cities are fast becoming prison camps for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
For those who think that the story of Hurricane Sandy has been written and all is well, think again. There are tens of thousands of people who have no where to live. Their agony is only beginning. The battle of hope vs loss of all hope is taking place right now across the East Coast, and in tent cities that were supposed to be temporary shelters.. shelters that are turning into incredibly difficult place to find shelter from misery ..
It didn’t even involve General David Petraeus at first. Initially it began when Paula Broadwell sent threatening emails to another woman close to Petraeus at the CIA.
Tabassum Zakaria and Mark Hosenbal at REUTERS report this:
But the CIA director's name unexpectedly turned up in the course of the investigation, two officials and two other sources briefed on the matter said.
It was “an issue with two women and they stumbled across the affair with Petraeus,” a U.S. government security source said.
The Washington Post reported on Saturday that the FBI probe was triggered when Broadwell sent threatening emails to an unidentified woman close to the CIA director.
The woman went to the FBI, which traced the threats to Broadwell and then uncovered explicit emails between Petraeus and Broadwell, the Post said.
Even more, Pete Williams and Andrea Mitchell at NBC news report this:
At first, investigators were concerned that a stranger had somehow hacked into Petraeus’ email account, but then learned that his emailing her was consensual and indicative of an affair, they said.
One senior law enforcement official, who had been aware of the probe for several weeks, said the complaint to the FBI about Broadwell’s behavior “raised concerns, and we had to check it out. It wasn’t apparent at first what was going on.”
"That clarified our concern. We had to talk to him," the official said. "He made the decision to tell the White House. We handled it discreetly." The FBI did not tell the White House about the findings, as some sources had suggested Friday night, the official added.
Broadwell had extensive access to Petraeus while writing a biography of the general, “All In: The education of General David Petraeus,” and had given numerous television interviews speaking about him.
A sordid tale continues to develop. Twists, turns.. sex, secrets. All of those things that a James Bond film has. This however is not fiction. And with the fact Benghazi hearings are on the horizon, it is making the Petraeus scandal all the more fluid..
They could house 900. No private showers …
Truly devastating information. When will the national media stop ignoring this? This is a slow disaster of epic proportions and it’s not even registering in national news now??
Paula Broadwell wrote ALL IN about General David Petraeus. Now we know why.
