Like these Texans have already made shelters for just this event?
I am in Dallas and I have heard nothing of this. That is weird.
Several of our areas are right in the middle of oil and petrochemical plants. It’s the nature of the beast when you live down here. The need to shelter in place is just something we learn to do, like evacuating for hurricanes. Turn off the air, close any windows and don’t go outside. After a while an alarm sounds and we go on about our lives.
The explosion today was not all that big, occurred late in the workday with the weekend coming up, no loss of life and no other plans right next to it. Just feel sorry for the firefighters having to be out there with all that gear on in our heat.
