Reports on Monday night said there were several massive blasts near the Blue Rhino propane gas company in Tavares, Florida.

 

The Orlando Sentinel said that residents heard several loud blasts. Some said they saw 30-foot tall columns of flame.

 

Residents say they can see the flames from as far as five miles away.

The blasts started at around 11 p.m.

 

C.R. 448 has been closed for several miles in both ways, the paper reported.

It is unclear if there are any deaths or injuries.

 

On Twitter, a number of users posted photos of the explosion.

“It sounds like bombs are going off,” Norma Haygood told WESH-TV.

Officials have yet to determine the cause of the blasts.
