    I saw it! I was across the harbor in Coronado showing my parents the view of downtown when it sounded like a giant cannon went off. It blew out about 4 stories near the bottom of the hotel.

    I had my camera with me because we were sight-seeing. Here's a few pics I grabbed with my telephoto lens.

    The news here just said it was a natural gas explosion. 14 injured from burns and flying debris, 5 of those 14 were critically injured (whatever that means).

    I work in a hospital and have seen people in good shape be listed in critical condition. I guess I just want more details to decide for myself.

    Critical
    Vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable.

    We got an alert when that happened, via email. First thought was "The T-Word", then, well... accident!
