Oh my.

More idiot speculation from one of the biggest (and most sleazy) idiots on Skins's island; as dull and tedious as I find cousin nadin's speculations, I'd much sooner take hers, than Ms. Ed's.

No conspiracy theories...but strange that Texas had two major explosions today

http://www.12newsnow.com/story/22002630/three-people-burned-at-exxon-mobile

and now this one:

NON WEATHER: A fertilizer plant in the town of West, on I-35 in Central Texas, had an explosion that was felt as far north as the DFW area. We will have more info as details come in.

1. That would be big enough to take out the entire town. West isn't that big.

2. I had no idea there was a West, Texas

And, naturally, it's located in North Texas, while the region known as WEST TEXAS is at the top of the state.

8. I have been watching the news and they have been flaring and there have been some weird activity in the refinery community since Sunday.

But I am sure that those circumstances aren't related because then OSHA would have to be involved and I am pretty certain that the oil companies wouldn't deliberately put their employees at risk....
 
This is from a local TV station website on Monday...
"Pertaining to reports of an explosion in Bridge City... dispatcher there tells us officers have not been able to find the source... they will continue to be on the lookout throughout the night... but at this point, they just don't know what it was."
 
This was on Sunday....
http://www.12newsnow.com/story/21975885/refineries-monitor-air
"Total and Motiva refineries in Port Arthur say the air quality is safe following a day of flaring activity due to a power outage, Neither company could confirm Sunday what chemicals were being burned off but say air monitoring was taking place throughout the day. "

PORT ARTHUR -

Some Entergy Texas customers lost electricity due to a problem at a substation located on 39th Street. The problem was reported around 9:30 a.m. Sunday.
 
Entergy Spokesperson Debi Derrick told 12News by phone the incident was originally reported as a fire, but was a 'short circuit event.'
 
"We did determine that there was no actual fire. Sometimes electrical events result in an arc or a flash and that can be misinterpreted as a fire," said Derrick.
 
Refineries in the area had to flare as a result of the power loss.

This had no link but was on Sunday...
"Heavy flaring reported at PA refineries - what are you seeing? We are trying to get a hold of local refineries as to why there is so much activity, but Entergy is reporting over 12,000 people without power this morning."

Czech Stop.  YUM.  I went to college in Waco, and getting kolaches from Czech Stop was always a treat.

That explosion was horrific. I haven't talked to my parents, but I saw on the news that people in their town felt it. They are 45 or so miles north of West.

Prayers for all involved.
