2020 needs to calm the fuck down.

A large explosion shook the city of Houston, Texas, early on Friday (Jan 24) morning, US media reported, with the noise waking many residents before dawn.

At least one person was injured by the blast, that also shattered windows and created a noise heard by people across a wide area, officials and media said.

Smoke and flames could be seen billowing from the area around the blast and emergency vehicles converged on the area.

“This is still an active scene. Avoid the area,” Houston Fire Chief Samuel Peña said on Twitter.
