Please say a prayer for all those in the Houston area.
. Many things to pray for a temporary black cloud isn’t one of them.

Eh they’re just overreacting. It’d be just another typical day for us in Ascension


But this is Houston which isn't an expendable population and location. This cloud needs to safely exit Texas and settle just a tad to the east.

This is starting to remind me of Deepwater Horizon. Putting the fire out actually made things much worse, environmentally.

But he wants to be dramatic. How can you get any attention if you can’t be dramatic and play the victim role?

and the kids from CyFair ISD were not allowed outside as a precaution.


Yeah, bc keeping them inside with the AC pumping is a real problem solver.

It may have.

This morning with all the fog, I could smell like something was burning.

So, could the smell of the smoke and fumes coupled with a front sliding down from the north push it to the New Orleans area?

We live about an hour’s drive from Deer Park on the northwest side of Houston (Cypress) and my sinus’ are a wreck. Between pollen and carcinogens I’m screwed.

I’m surprised we haven’t heard more brain busters from AOC over this.

This is why I like refineries and tank plants away from large cities. Half of downtown BR is a refinery.

Standard Oil was pretty much there first. BR would be a cowtown without it.
Come to think of it, NBR would be better off.

This is exactly why I live out west in Katy. The wonder is almost never bringing the Pasadena air our way.

Sure, for 5-10 minutes 3-4 times a month. The length of exposure here is far greater.

Nonsense, I was told by government and company officials just two days ago that everything was ok and safe.
