Edit: Skell just said there was some sort of explosion in La Habra, CA too.
Marie is live-blogging a serious power plant explosion at a generating station near Springfield, IL. Her Tweets:
NOw there’s the sound of gushing air

The Springfield Journal-Register has an update on their site about it too.
If you’re in or around that area and want updates, set your IM to track “explosion” or “CWLP” and you’ll get anyone else who might be twittering about it. In the meantime, Marie’s blog is a great place for info.
This is definitely a great study of real-time disaster management and reporting, and of course, my hopes are that no one has been injured or killed as a result of the explosion.
