Just very surprising and just disturbing that there were potential explosives. 
>> Residents here on Patricia Lane in Sioset still on edge today after this massive hazmat situation on Wednesday led to felony charges against a 48-year-old father who according to the criminal complaint had a house full of volatile chemicals, including nitroglycerin and aluminum powder. 
Much of it laid out by authorities here on the man's driveway as neighboring homes were evacuated for hours. 
>> Gave me a time to grab my car keys and go. 
>> It's kind of scary, obviously. 
>> All of this following an alleged bias incident here at the Sioset High School in which a 15-year-old boy was accused of drawing a swastika inside the boy's bathroom, also troubling residents. and he is the son of 48-year-old Francisco Sandlas who owns this home. 
>> Any thoughts on the the school stuff? 
The stuff? 
>> That's sad and disgusting. 
>> Police were here to investigate the school incident when they came upon the cash of chemicals stored mostly in this shed adjacent to the home. 
According to the criminal complaint, the man's son telling authorities the two of them would buy all the chemicals to build rockets, leaving neighbors wondering even more. 
>> A lot of these people who do tend when handles like pyro technical explosives, they usually tend to do it in a in a safe secure site that's away from residential because if it goes wrong, you don't you don't affect anybody else. 
>> The bomb squad unable to even remove it all safely. 
Instead, they had to partially detonate it, shaking nearby homes. 
>> I finally was able to get back into the house just before 10 p.m. 
They evidently kept folks that were closest to the house in question away longer.
