I'm reading on FB there were several possible explosions coming from the Texaco in Paradis and reports of a fireball. Posted to Facebook about 15 minutes ago. Ya'll hear anything?

Dude's FB with videos

Edited-now they are saying it's Phillips 66 pipeline not Williams

Just drove past it. Huge flare with equipment on fire.

ETA - had big fireball/flare shooting horizontally out of some equipment, nearby equipment, fence, and other structure on fire from flare.

Seems like this type of thing has been happening way too often.

I did a project there a few years ago. Flame in the video was not in the location of my project thankfully
