22:47 31.07.2019(updated 22:51 31.07.2019)
A fire broke out Wednesday at an ExxonMobil plant in Houston, Texas. Video footage from the scene showed a large plume of smoke coming from the oil refinery. ExxonMobil has urged local residents to shelter as a precaution, ABC News reported.
D*mn.
With the loss of the Philly refinery by fire a few weeks ago, gas prices and chemical prices will likely go up.
A tweet from the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District said the following district buildings are included in the shelter-in-place:
GC Service Center
Robert E.Lee High School
Peter E. Hyland
IMPACT ECHS
San Jacinto Elementary
Travis Elementary
Baytown Junior
Sheldon Independent School District officials said students are being kept inside during all school-related activities.

Is school in session in Texas already?
There are lots of refineries. Texas has about 30. This won’t do a thing to the price at the pump.
In their plastics area. Does not appear to involve the gasoline operation
Actually, it’s in Baytown but journalists can’t be bothered to report facts.
Ping.
There are quite a few refineries in Louisiana also. But you will see a market reaction even if pump prices don’t move much.
Not a Gasoline refinery should be no impact...
Perfect excuse to jack up the price of gas another 50 cents a gallon.
It sounds like it, but it seems kind of early.
“Perfect excuse to jack up the price of gas another 50 cents a gallon.”
Yep.
I hope your right but they’ll use any excuse to raise gas prices
Are any of the fancy lettered agencies paying attention now that Russia Russia Russia is over?
True that as the MSM never makes the distinction only the headline that hides it for the Sheeple to graze on
There are lots of refineries. Texas has about 30. This won’t do a thing to the price at the pump.
...
You mean it shouldn’t...but it will, overnight.
Like clockwork another incident to keep the price of gasoline higher.
