more shrapnel
Yes I am safe, no one was hurt and the dorm is still standing. Maybe send another mom? Also a fire extinguisher might be useful.

Water Heater
I used a step down converter, converting 220V to 110V so I could use my awesome water warmer I just received. The first time I plugged it into a similar converter. This time I changed to a different one because the outlets of the other were used. A moment after I plugged it in, it blew up! Literally blew up. The noise scared the shit out of me. The metal heating element has a huge hole in it. So much for my new favorite toy. The room became full of smoke from the small CONTAINED fire.

Perhaps you should go buy a small drip coffee maker to heat water...
