This photo was taken from my back porch at 1:03 central, about a minute after the explosion. The water in the foreground is the pond in my back yard. The bayou is on the other side of the treeline. My house is approximately 1 mile from the actual explosion. Our property runs all along the side of the interstate, which remains closed at this hour.

Is that an oil pipeline or a product pipeline? Products could be gasoline or kerosene or diesel which might flame up like that.

Yikes! That’s an great photo- nice catch.

You ok? Safe?

Yikes! Stay safe down there.

Whose pipeline is it? I did some work at a natural gas facility in Delhi last year but this doesn’t sound like the same place.

Thanks for the photo. Must be scary to see that out your back window.

I drove through I-10 on my way to see family for Thanksgiving. They detoured us up I-49 to Opelousas then took the old highway 190 to Baton Rouge. By the time I drove back, they had reopened I-10 and saw the spot of the explosion. It just looked like a charred mess. I ate lunch at Mulate’s in Breaux Bridge which wasn’t accessible before due to the detour.

Well, grab some marshmallows and have yourself a roast. LOL
