Do we mean natural gas or gasoline?

Must be an isolated incident. Definitely not terrorism. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.

"gas processing plant near Warda, Texas"

If it were a gasoline plant it should have said, "refinery".

I suspect this is a infield natural gas gathering system.

They always locate those in remote areas, and I've never heard of Warda, Texas!

99% chance it is a natural gas processing plant. These things happen.

All after an FBI warning, if I'm not mistaken.

I drive through Warda about every week. Really small town. The speed limit changes from 70mph to 60mph for the ride through town.

As a native Texan, I can assure you that this is 99.9% most likely not terrorism. These accidents do happen every year, since long before 9/11, and there has been no increase in the rate of these accidents. And this is in a pretty remote area, not a lot more than jackrabbits and deer would be harmed.

I realize that is not what some here want to hear, but that's just the facts of the matter.

Diddle, do you remember when the a natural gas storage facility near Brenham blew up? I think it was ten or so years ago and killed around a dozen people. It was so powerful that the explosion shook buildings in Bryan/College Station over 40 miles away.

Warda is probably about the size of Oatmeal, TX, down by Luckenbach.
You discover it when you've had too many Lone Star longnecks under the big oak tree.

Who said it was terrorism?
Just seems to me that a week can't go by without an explosion in Texas.
