looks like traffic is getting back to normal. They had I-35 and I-30 and all the roads including the DART trains blocked for about a 1/2-mile and shut-down for a couple of hours. The explosions were from acetylene welding cylinders exploding from a fire...over 100 cylinders reported...and they think the fire started while the employees were filling cylinders. The business was a supplier. at least 3 people injured (burned)...and no reported fatalities...yet.
