@baboon

Isn’t this heading to your neck of the woods?

Pretty sure he said hes near Corsicana.

And that is why I do not operate my forklift in my kitchen, near the sink

That an your loving wife might not see the humor in a forklift in her kitchen.

No

He is west of I45 so this incident won't affect him at home.

Got an alert for us in Colmesneil but nothing at the office in Zavalla. At the office we could see the smoke floating fairly low but was light.

Thank you

The weird part is that at the same time this was happening, I had a nightmare that I was at a chemical plant and it blew up. It woke me up and left me very uncomfortable. I didn't hear about the actual explosion until late in the day. Having worked in chemical plants and refineries before, I am very aware of that constant danger.

Good. I was wondering if the plume would get towards you; glad to know it didn't.

Speaking of @baboon, have not seen him around lately.

Somebody with his number want to check in on him?

Already did, all good.

Sure, we all keep diesel and xylene, and phosphoric acid under our kitchen sinks, right next to the C4

Dammit. That reminded me: we are outta C4!

Hopefully Florida's will be open next Sat.
I just called to see how they fared- no answer.
Maybe they're just closed for today.

Yes would be disappointing if not.

It would, yes.
I'll call them again tomorrow -
and think about a backup site for the TGT lunch, if need be.

There appears to be a number of possibilities.

Send them to me via PM if you would. Thanks!

They are open Thur-Sat only so they lost 1/3 of their weekly income, the question is why? I was in Shepherd today and there was no hint of the fire but, since I was riding I did not attempt to go near the scene for fear of tire damage.

If an alternate location is needed give me a holler, I have some suggestions.

Yeah - we need more information before decisions are made.
