Seems both explosions were inside stores, the Marathon Sports store at the finish line, and the Lenscrafters a block or so up the street. I heard both, and I live 10 miles away.

No confirmed deaths, but a lot of blood. The Marathon medical tents are right there though.

Yes, I’d bet some teabagger(s) on Tax Day.
