Do they know of any deaths or injuries? Friends and family often work out there on a contract basis. . .

It’s awful hard to judge the scale of the event. Anyone have a grasp on this?
To: Cincinatus' Wife
I live about 10 miles from this plant. Need to check the news.

It is now obvious we need a Federal moratorium on gasoline additive production.

Thank you.
When they show long shots from I-10 you can really see how massive that fire ball is.

Please pray for my friend’s son.
He works there and was there at the time of the explosion but is not answering his cell phone.
BTW, he served, and was injured, in Afghanistan. Has been home for a couple of years.
