Facebook is saying one of the tanks caught fire and exploded. They evacuated employees before the explosion but they're not able to get back to their vehicles until it's cleared.

I am not far from there. There is a mandatory evacuation for up to 1 mile from Smittys. After the first explosion, there has been many more and the smoke can be seen for miles.

My evacuees just arrived at my house. Person I know that works there said it’s going to be a total loss.
ETA: there’s a smaller petroleum plant next door to Smitty’s, Ballard’s Petroleum. I’m trying to get word on that now

If tweet fails to load, click here. I don't know that I'd be sightseeing near all that smoke.

Might’ve been a darkening strike too.

Pulled it up on Google maps
There’s a TON of tanks on that facility that are very close together
