The plant is located at the 300 block of County Road 448 and several residential areas surround it. A 1-mile evacuation of the area was ordered before midnight.

A massive emergency response was called for after multiple injuries were reported.

Several locals called WESH 2 to report seeing flames and hearing loud explosions.

There was a phone interview with a woman who was at a close-by gas station earlier ... before the first explosion. She said folks were running past her yelling that it was ‘gonna blow’. Hopefully, the workers all got out safely.

It’s odd (to me) that there’s such a large gap between the two major fires.

What’s going on with all these plant explosions, train de-railings, bus crashes, etc.? There seems to have been a rash of them worldwide lately.

The physical world is a window into the spiritual realm.

Looks like a hideous, raging inferno. The world of deception must necessarily burn to a crisp. Oh well look at the bright side: everyone alive today won the SHTF lottery!
