They were starting up a unit(just finished turnaround) when explosion happened. Trying to contain fire now.

Hopefully their start up procedures call for all personnel to clear out of the unit.

That's crazy. I didn't hear it in Gonzales and it's quiet in my house. Sound must travel over Lake Maurpas better than the swamp.
Any news links/info yet? I have a few friends that work there.

Prayers up. Hope everybody’s ok

Friend in LaPlace said her whole house shook.

Likely the opposite. There’s a lot of field surveillance when starting up any unit.

Got word from someone in there. All are accounted for. Thank God!

One of our guys where on the phone with a PM in their admin building as soon as I saw this. He didn't say anything... hopefully no one was hurt.
