Two days ago, an explosion occurred in our relatively quiet community. It turns out that a 35yo man was mixing flash powder in his back yard. He left the batch mixing while he went inside and the powder ignited. The resulting 3 foot deep crater and damage to nearby homes pales by comparison to what I heard this afternoon. It seems that two preschoolers were outside playing when the blast occurred. It wasn't until the next day that the parents realized that their children could not hear. The explosion deafened the preschoolers. I pray that the condition is temporary and that their hearing will return. But I am just sickened by the news. Please say a prayer for healing for these two little ones and pray for me as I struggle with the anger towards the idiot who brought this pain and suffering upon the whole community.
