Valkyrie beat me to it.
According to TV News, just about the time I was posting last, the police tried to blast their way into the "tank." Then they tried again, just before 10:00 PM. It didn't work either time. This damned thing must be armoured like a battleship. Rumor has it that they will keep trying.
A quick update: I said in my first post that Granby had about 1500 people. Tonight they are saying 2200. A real metropolis at any rate. Can you imagine the first cops on the radio? "He's got a WHAT?" And the CAT is a D-9A instead of a D-5. Still, you don't want to try to stop 45 tons of steel.
I was thinking that if I were still with Channel 4, I would probably be spending the night in Granby. Looking at some of the building selectively, it reminded me of being part of the coverage of an F-5 tornado in Limon, CO years back. The buildings looked very much like the ones damaged today. But the tornado wasn't as selective and did a lot more damage.
