Well, I just Tweeted one of the local news stations, asking if anyone’s heard anything. No reply as yet.
Scanner action for Skagit County last 5 minutes.
A girl living behind the funeral home swallowed a nickle and has now thrown it up.
See:
No injuries in Tesoro ‘unplanned fire event’
The reporting in that article appears to be seriously underplaying the scope of the incident. This event was considerably more than just an exceptional amount of flaring. There were multiple fires underway in separate areas. One of the fires was either atop a storage tank or coming up from behind the storage tank some tens of feet into the air above the storage tank.
If anyone wants to take the time to post a photograph of the fire in this thread, I’ll e-mail the jpeg file to them.
