Kind of wild. I sure hope it wasn't intentional. Said it was such a big boom it rocked buildings two miles away.

Firefighters responded to a report of an explosion at a reproductive health facility in Palm Springs late Saturday morning.

Preliminary information from local media outlets indicated that the explosion occurred at American Reproductive Centers, which is located at 1199 North Indian Canyon Drive, around 11 a.m. NBC Palm Springs reported that the incident was a car explosion, although the exact nature was not immediately known.

Palm Springs city officials later put out a community advisory that confirmed the explosion occurred just before 11 a.m. near North Indian Canyon Drive and East Tachevah Drive.

“Palm Springs Police and Fire are currently on scene and request that residents stay away from the area so that emergency crews can work the incident. More details will follow,” the community alert said.

UPDATE: Welp. Bomb techs on the scene. Good gravy goodness.
