SMOKE IS BAD AND they are evacuating the surrounding areas. Toxic smoke from phone calls coming in to the radio station.

Highway cracked

Not all tanks have exploded, at least 3 blew. Theres about 12 tanks ok. Its close to the Federal Prison. In last 30 minutes no spread of fire. Uncorroborated rumor of Spirit Airline flight.....The 12 tanks are right next to the ones on fire.

It’s not a refinery

“A column of black smoke and flames were rising from the Caribbean Petroleum Corp., a Gulf-owned gasoline warehouse and distribution center on San Juan’s Bay. Authorities said the cause of the blast and the scale of the damage and injuries were not immediately clear”
