was happening, and that when she got there, two boys came running
toward her screaming that the authorities had ordered everyone out because
the plant was going to explode. She drove only about a block
when it did."It was like being in a tornado," Marak, 58, said
during a phone interview. "Stuff was flying everywhere. It blew out my
windshield. It was like the whole earth shook."Marak called her husband
and asked him to come get her. When they got to their
home about two miles south of town, her husband told her what
he'd seen: a huge fireball that rose like "a mushroom cloud."The USGS
reported that the blast registered a magnitude 2.1, which is comparable
to a minor earthquake."They are still getting injured folks out and they
are evacuating people from their homes," Swanton said early Thursday. He
added later: "At some point this will turn into a recovery operation,
but at this point, we are still in search and rescue."Gov. Rick
Perry told reporters during a press conference Thursday in Austin that the
explosion was a "truly nightmare scenario" that likely affected every family
in the small community.This tragedy has most likely hit every family, touched
practically everyone in that town, Perry said. I ask all Americans and

to drum up support for the package, Sen. Mark Pryor might have
hesitated in bucking the president for fear of a primary challenge. But
the doorsteps were empty.This is just the first test of the presidents
new model and he and his team promise that as money flows
in and lower-level organizers get up to speed, the presidents army will
be ready to march next time.But there are two challenges here.First, how
do you get people fired up about unsatisfying legislation?Obama initially
promised a whole package of legislation aimed at preventing future mass
killings like the December massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary. But comprehensive
legislation quickly gave way to a resurrection of the old liberal effort
to ban guns.When Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid declared that not viable,
the president fell back to supporting universal background checks. He had
by that point lost the urgency of the Sandy Hook killings since
the measure was unrelated to what happened at the school, as well
as other recent mass shootings.And when that measure looked headed to sure
defeat because of worries about a federal firearms registry, Obama fell
back again and called for passage of a more limited expansion of
