A massive explosion has rocked a fertilizer plant near Waco, Texas. Rescue crews are on the scene as a number of injuries have been reported, according to local affiliate KWTX. Several buildings are thought to have been destroyed.
There were accounts of people trapped in a nearby nursing home, which had been damaged, and residents stranded in an adjacent apartment building. Initial reports indicated that at least five victims were in critical condition.

The explosion occurred around 7:50pm local time. A fireball of nearly 100 feet high has been reported along with a massive power outage.

A large swath of the town of West, Texas was “leveled” in the explosion, according to WFAA-TV Dallas reporter Jason Whitely.
