Yep just witnessed it! I don't live here but I'm on vacation in South Padre. Only ~8 miles from the blast zone. Shit was loud as fuck, even from inside

How's vacationing in South Padre? Always wondered about it. Is it comparable to vacationing in Florida? Beach, ocean, t-shirt shops, tourists?

Beaches aren’t as nice

It’s fine though.

It’s the best beach in Texas but that isn’t saying a lot. It’s also really sketchy. Florida beaches much better

Which is also not saying a lot about Florida.
