Explosion Tuesday night

[WOSdrummer99]

Something just exploded towards port neches. And shook the crap out of my house in Orange. I thought it was an earth quake or a tornado. Hope everyone is ok.

TPC in Port Neches.  It’s not good 

 

I live about 2 miles away and It blew out my mahogany front door and busted windows.  I can’t imagine it’s good for the people onsite working.  Prayers

Are you guys being evacuated Mack?  Regardless, please be careful buddy. 
 

Have people I know as far away as Buna and Lake Charles that felt it.

The footage on my security cam show the whole sky lighting up. Then a minute later everything shook. Crazy $h!+

Scanner says lots of helicopters flying in for burn victims.

Prayers for everyone. Be safe

Cops were going door to door within a half mile radius to get people out.  Mother is law is evacuating.  Not us yet.

Thought a damn bomb went off in PA before i got word it was a refinery in PN, shook every house on my block. Be careful, i hear another explosion likely to happen. Lots of damage im seeing on Twitter and Facebook. 

 

I really hope the wind stops completely, turned off the ac just in case.

It’s raining now.  Hopefully that will help put out the fire.

And here we thought SFA beating Duke was the biggest miracle last night.  Watching the video (and Mack’s above might have been the most incredible I’ve seen) I would have said it was impossible there weren’t going to be a lot of casualties.  Hopefully the 3 injured will make full recoveries. 

[WOSdrummer99]

Not sure how many employees were there. But that's amazing only 3 injuries.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Another explosion just now. Felt it here in PA.

Another example of how strong it was.  It woke me up here in Evadale.  My daughter & SILaw who,live next door thought it was loud thunder.  We’re 41 miles driving.  Guess about 32-33 miles as the crow flies.  Second was also audible.

[PhatMack19]

Evacuation order lifted.  We finally get to go home 

[PhatMack19]
