UPDATE: KTWX is saying over 60 dead.

Dad worked at a lot of refineries as a scale technician (if it was around Houston, he'd been there). One day, he had just left a Texaco plant when it went up, and several people were killed. Had he not finished up and left, he probably wouldn't have survived the blast (unless he was down in the scale pit, assuming it didn't fall and crush him...)
He has a disturbing number of near-miss stories, like the time he drove off the seawall in Galveston, or how ham radio kept him out of Vietnam...

If you want something truly terrifying, try ammonium perchlorate.
