Currently happening. Just north of I10, wouldn't be surprised if I10 gets closed. No word on cause or injuries yet.
ETA: FlowChem is the name of the facility.
ETA2: I10 West is closed. Hazmat crews evacuating people from the interstate north a few miles.
ETA3: I10 West closed at Scott Exit(98), I10 East closed at Rayne exit(87).
ETA4: I10WB now closed at I49, taffic being diverted to hwy190.

I'm on Ambassador Caffery way over by the Mall and fire trucks just passed on their way there.

Thinking about Cosmo being scattered across I10 in a million pieces?
Huh, sure does.

Are you okay?

No word yet on closure of I10 but I'd think they won't have much choice. Still a constant flow of fire trucks and emergency personnel rushing in.

I've always wondered if they paid ULL for the rights to put "Ragin' Cajuns" on the side of those big red containers on the left side of the picture.
Then I wonder...
EDIT: Also, is the guy who took that picture standing in the middle of I-10 EB? There's no frontage road along I-10 WB at that spot for that dump truck to be parked along, so it's got to be parked on the side of the WB lane. Also, there's no shoulder on the median side of I-10 there, so that fool's got to be standing in the middle of the fricking travel lane.
EDIT 2: I guess that could be taken out of the driver's window going down I-10 EB and that dump truck could be rolling down I-10 WB, but if that's the case, that's a hell of a good shot to not have motion blur.

Just drove by it going eastbound. It’s really bad. It’s completely destroyed.

You don't think everyone is at a dead stop just staring at this? I mean that's what everyone does for car wrecks so I imagine its much worse for a explosion.

Heading westbound now about 1 mile away from the plant stuck on I10
