I live in Jones Creek, about 5 miles away. This is not BASF's manufacturing site, but rather a storage terminal located at the Port of Freeport. BASF has large anyhdrous ammonia storage tanks sited there. Prevailing south/southeast winds would carry fumes over Freeport, west winds towards Surfside toward Galveston.
Like you say, a little explosion could cause a big problem.

Like you say, a little explosion could cause a big problem. Years ago here in Houston an ammonia tanker truck fell off the 610/59 overpass and crashed to the road below. The fumes killed a bunch of people.
I can only imagine what blowing up a big tank of this stuff couild do.
