They've been parroting this for an hour now, based upon the discussion they had with the St. James Parish president.

My guess is they lost nitrogen purge and something ignited

Wbrz just misinterpreted it and failed basic chemistry

I doubt this ends with zero recordables. "Accounted for" does not mean not injured. It's possible for sure. Since the weather is so bad, most people were probably inside and there should have been lots of contractor rainouts today.

The people I know who are there are all fine.

A company spokesperson with a sense of humor could really frick with the media during an event like this.

It should all fail open to the flare, but will still probably take a while to completely blow down.

No explosion when I was there, just fire. Most likely lightning. It was popping of for a while. We were under lightning alert, so no work was being performed. It was shin deep water in the contractor trailer lot. Should have seen everyone sprinting through it to get out the gate, myself included.

I could have guessed you liked tap dancing. No wonder you are so mad.
