I will guys..I am listening to MSNBC..They will report it first..Hope it isn't an attack. I just heard it was near the base where the aircraft carriers and other ships are supplied. It was propane tank 1 mile from base..may be accident they aren't sure....

An ignited propane tank is the cause. It was lit by protestors. :o
