Shouting from the Hop

It looks pretty spectacular, and the skies have certainly darkened with smoke over the last hour or so, but the huge explosion at a petrol storage facility north of London, apparently heard up to 40 miles away, failed to wake me this morning.

Thankfully, nobody has been killed, though a few people have been seriously injured, and many homes badly damaged.

It was a strange sky that welcomed us as we came out of the supermarket this morning; previous clear winter skies, had been replaced with a black hue, as the smoke drifted across London. It will disperse over time I guess, but it does look strange...
