They're working on it now. One storage building is GONE. Crews are wetting down the other two buildings.
FRiends, there's ONE MILLION GALLONS being estimated as destroyed!

Alcohol is 90% water, it won't burn! Whiskey is 80 proof or so, maybe more in some cases. Percentage is roughly 1/2 of proof. Maximum proof is 200, which is 100% alcohol. So this whiskey is mostly 40% alcohol, which is enough to burn.

Thanks for the photo updates, FRiends!
They're calling the cause of the fire as lightning (NOT white, BTW), and there are no casualties - they haven't even called an evacuation of the rest of the plant.
More as I get it!

Bourbon gives me heartburn. Never could stand it. I will, however, maintain a respectful silence from now on.
Sorta...

QUICK! Buy stock! Buy cases of JB. They will be worth something when the resulting shortage kicks in!
