Along the way to Williams, Arizona yesterday, I stopped in the Tee Pee Trading Post to pick up some cigars for the clampout.
While there, I chatted with one of the clerks and he said that they had to close and be evacuated when the derailment fire was raging.
According to CNN:
Evacuation orders were issued for residents within a two-mile radius of the derailment and fire along the New Mexico state line with Arizona, according to an update from BNSF Railway. All evacuations were lifted Sunday, according to a Facebook post from McKinley County Fire & Rescue.
All he heard when the explosion occurred was something like a muffled pop. The trading post was about a mile from the derailment.
This incident will be talked about for years to come.
