Just for the record, this explosion happened 20 miles outside of Waco, and the thing everyone seems to conflate with craziness in regards to Waco happened like ten miles away.
Bad shit happens everywhere on a regular basis. Waco is close to Fort Hood, Baylor and Crawford, so yeah... maybe it can on occasion be a nexus of oddness. But it's not like it's Bartertown or something. Mostly it's boring beyond reason.
