Thanks, that's a lot of info!

It akes sense that slar radiation go down.  The sun just cannot get through the thick black cloud.  There seems to be an eternal shade in places covered by the cloud (although the cloud is high up and not on the land level).

Government is warning of respiratory ilness to people in the inmediate area.  As approximately 2,000 persons have been evacuated, now aH1N1 virus concerns are rising in the people that are in the shelters.  They will start vaccinating them today (I think).

Acid rain has also been mentioned.  HOwever, we have been extremely lucky since no rain has fallen since yesterday, and no rain is expected for the next couple of days in the fire zone area.

Thanks again for the info.  We've already gotten some work from this event.  Condominiums at approximately 1.5 miles away have had their doors (wood and sliding) taken out of their frames and windows also broken due to the impact of the expansive force of the explosion!
