Since many of you can't see the video, here's a news article on the subject. It seems like it is not terror related, possibly an industrial accident, but nobody knows what happened yet.
One person was missing following a large explosion at an apparent industrial building in Houston early Friday that heavily damaged nearby buildings and homes, left rubble scattered in the area and was felt miles away.
One person was taken to a hospital because of the blast, the Houston Fire Department said, and a fire burned at the site hours after the explosion. Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said that one person was unaccounted for.
A fire continued to burn at the site hours after the explosion and people were told to avoid the area. Aerial images showed rubble where one building apparently stood and debris strewn about. Surrounding structures had portions of their walls and roofs heavily damaged.
The explosion, which appeared to be centered on an industrial building, shook other buildings about 4:30 a.m., with reports on Twitter of a boom felt across the city. People were told to avoid the area.
Houston police tweeted that officers were blocking off streets in the area. Police said people should avoid the area, but no evacuation has been ordered. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said first responders were checking on residents of nearby homes.
Several people told Houston TV station KHOU that the explosion was so loud, they thought a bomb had gone off or that a vehicle had crashed into their homes. At one man's home about 1/4 mile (0.4 kilometers) away, glass doors were shattered, ceilings were cracked, and the lid of his toilet was even torn off, the station reported.
Southeast Texas has seen a series of explosions in recent years up and down the Texas Gulf Coast, which is home to the highest concentration of oil refineries in the nation. Last July, an explosion at an ExxonMobil refinery in Baytown left more than dozen people with minor injuries and put nearby residents under a shelter-in-place advisory for three hours.
In December, two blasts in the coastal city of Port Neches shattered windows and ripped the doors from nearby homes.
It rocked me and I was awake to appreciate it. It shook houses within a 20 mile radius, and I was relatively close.
For those curious what it felt like.
There was no rain or wind and it was relatively dry.
Suddenly this rushing wind comes up and smacks my building. Sort of vibrates against the outside. Presses the windows. Then less than a second later, a big crack that echoes through everything, followed immediately by several identical smaller sound bursts.
Lot of ricochet effects here. I think most of houston just experienced what a war sounds like. And this is northwest houston. Southeast houston had the refinery explosion earlier last year.
If you want to check radius, people heard this from Woodlands, Tx down to Richmond, TX
Polypropylene explosion in North West Houston seems to be a chemical leak that should dissipate over time. Right now the area has been evacuated, masked have been given to some residents.
Texas. It's like a whole other country.

Looks like industrial accident...buuuuut I wouldn't rule out muzzies.
It's an empty industrial area in the dead of night. 0% terrorism unless someone is practicing
