The same company that has had this same issue at other plants?

Hmmm...under control?


Perhaps under control in the sense that the CEO and shareholders live in Manhattan.

We probably shop at the same Walmart.

Which, as of yesterday, no longer has Riceland Farms crawfish.

Pretty sure this is how the Zombie Apocalypse starts


I mean there are definitely some parallels to Return of the Living Dead.

This looks like it might be a nightmare for I-20.

They say having a chlorine plant nearby is way more dangerous than a nuke plant.

How it began and it's not good. From Atlanta News First:

"Around 5 a.m., a sprinkler at the BioLab plant on Old Covington Highway in Conyers malfunctioned and sprayed water on a chemical, causing a reaction that created a large, hazardous plume, which then began drifting to the northeast, Rockdale County Fire Chief Marian McDaniel said at a press briefing shortly after 10 a.m.

The malfunction also caused a small fire on the BioLab roof, which was contained, McDaniel said.

The fire has since reignited, and a huge plume of smoke is billowing from the plant, prompting an evacuation order for anyone between Sigman Road and I-20, according to county officials. Anyone in the evacuation zone needs to leave the area, officials said. Anyone outside the zone is asked to stay away."

the price of chlorine tabs for pools is just now going down

I stocked up on tabs when the LC plant shut down and lasted me until last month. They were $79/pail. Now it’s $199. Just bought some more at Home Depot. Might be good idea to stock up
