This happened where I live (Savannah) and it's pretty bad. Please keep those who were injured and those who are missing and their families in your thoughts and prayers today.

I saw that on the news last night Em, and it looked horrific. My thoughts and prayers are definitely with those who were injured or killed and their families. I heard this afternoon that it's no longer a rescue but recovery at this point.

Sugar dust--this is from the article above:

Sugar dust is combustible, according the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration's Web site. Static electricity, sparks from metal tools or a cigarette can ignite explosions.
