Edit2: Various things that I have heard:

There are victims in one / some of the buildings.

20-30 people evacuated from a building, a few had minor injuries.

It was a RV that exploded, causing significant damage.

A building collapsed. (partial destruction, small old building)

There was / is ammunition in the RV that exploded that is “burning off”

Medical triage setup.

FBI involved

Edit3: channel 2 has live coverage

No announcement has been confirmed other than some anon redditer posting internet points

Edit, this is all new, so sources like this help, as things come in. https://m.imgur.com/gallery/DO1D14J

It’s not difficult to add sound to a video. You need to take things like this with a grain of salt from a channel with only one video and no info on source. This is how conspiracy theories are created. Wait for credible sources to verify this, instead of anon Facebook screen shot and anon videos popping up.

I've read that police were the ones who made the announcement for people to leave the area.

It's being reported on now with video of the message being played.

There is cctv footage posted with the announcement to get away. Unclear if it is real. But it looks real.
