First off, fire. Lots of it. And explosions!
Basically, the nearby Magnablend Inc. industrial complex went up in flames today. Giant flames, and fireballs too - and I was less than a quarter-mile away from it all. The smoke plume could be seen from Dallas, which is a good 30 miles away. The flames were over 50 feet high, and the fireballs/explosions were at least that big, too, if not bigger. They evacuated all of the schools, and a bunch of the houses nearby.Some video I shot.And a dropbox gallery of photos I also shot:https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/32547177/1/Fire?h=1e8aa9Some news coverage:http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/03/us/texas-chemical-fire/http://www.star-telegram.com/2011/10/03/3415380/massive-fire-consumes-chemical.html?video=truehttp://www.myfoxdfw.com/dpp/news/100311-Huge-Fire-at-Waxahachie-Chemical-PlantAnd now for the radiationThe radiation isn't real, but it is accompanied by flowing water and lava! Update to what I posted in my last blog, terrain effects now are active! Nukes leave glowing patches of radiation, and lava and water do what lava and water always do - flow downhill. On the left bit of the lava, you can see where it stopped flowing downhill because of the ridge.
Here's some lava stopping at the water line. P.S. - that huge spread of lava came from a single source square.
And some radiation near the edge of the map!
I'll make up a video soon, probably for my next blog :3
Nice codifying. =)
And is that your voice?! Not what I expected. At all. You don't even have the east-Indian/French Canadian/Spanish accent I imagined you with.That, my friends, is the real nuke here. :(That's my southern accent. I tend to change my methodology of speech to match people around me. So if I'm up in New York, I tend to talk a bit different from down here in Texas.
