Well.....?

We've been on the back patio most of the day. We're within an earshot of nearly all of them. Haven't heard a thing.

There was a fire on the docks at the port a couple of days ago.

This was within the last hour. Friend was coming in from fishing. Thinks may have been a lightning strike that caused it?

A lightning strike caused a fire in Hackberry at a similar facility last month, so quite possible

Can confirm. Massive fire.

Lightning struck the plant. I’m out fishing on big lake right now. Watched it happen. Heard the explosion over the water.

Who owns this? I’m assuming it’s a pretty small place
