The incident was terrifying for the locals who lived close to the Sherwin-Williams paint factory. Many claimed to have been startled out of their sleep by frightful bangs. Even Firewheel Town Center, which is about five miles north of the plant, was allegedly the farthest location where witnesses claimed to have heard explosions.
Over 15 explosions were counted by one neighbor, Jim Norris, who has lived close by for about 20 years. Jim recalled hearing a series of tremendous bangs.
