At a buddy's house near the Port of Lake Charles. His house just shook. Several people in the neighborhood walked outside to investigate.

Hoping all the plant baws are okay. Will update with any news.

Texting buddies - as far south as Grand Lake and west as Orange heard the noise. Texts saying it was Citgo. No links yet.

Yep. Copy that.

Once I got passed the used parts, all was good.

In all seriousness I hope everyone’s safe. Those plants are a dangerous place.
