A massive explosion at a Texas fertilizer plant has left anywhere from five to 15 people dead, and more than 160 injured reports the Waco Tribune Herald this morning. The explosion, which took place just after 8:00 p.m. last night set several houses and buildings on fire, including a nearby nursing home and caused the mass evacuation of the town of West. Authorities say there is no reason to believe the explosion was anything other than an accident but are investigating the scene nonetheless. WATCH THE EXPLOSION
