Someone on Nextdoor app says Dow explosion, but not sure if that’s an assumption or not

Confirmed per WAFB. Didn’t mention what plant though

If it was Dow, there must not be a fire because theres no smoke in that direction.

Confirmed explosion at Dow per WAFB but had no other details. Doesn’t seem to be anything major though

No idea. Good thing is it’s sunday so there’s hardly anyone on site today. Hopefully that means no one was anywhere near that thing.

Felt it in St George.

I couldn’t tell if it was a giant gust of wind.
