#6 I'm afraid the casualties are going to exceed that number; one site states perhaps 100 dead in only the nursing home. There seems to be about 20 minutes between the call-in and the explosion. Give it 10 minutes for response and appraisal, leaves very little time for decision and execution.

#7 *HA has a more optimistic latest update of 5-15 with 200+ injured. If that is the football field/triage center there next to the site, lucky the lights didn't get blown out.
