Anybody in Wirral/Liverpool feel the explosion just before?
Apparently the petrol station by the Bebington Oval or a shop in New Ferry has exploded, praying no kids were hanging around there

My niece's dance studio is gone, thank god it didn't happen earlier in the day.

The diverse nature of stw strikes again, explosion was about the same distance again as where my mum lives relative to Bebington train station! Thankfully she is fine, reports suggesting a dance hall on Boundary Road has been blown to smithereens.

Fingers crossed there were no fatalities.

I thought someone had body slammed our sliding doors onto the garden. Apparently they felt it in North Wales.

Young persons dance studio wrecked, a furniture shop and undertakers all in same block of shops, lots of smaller shops and vehicles also damaged as are a large number of listed buildings on Port Sunlight housing estate, along with Terraced houses.

Huge police ,fire brigade search and rescue and national grid all there, like a bomb had hit the place, cycled down there today.
