Folks in Sulphur and Lake Charles are talking about an ethylene explosion at Sasol? Unit 63?

I don’t have a link yet. Any of you SWLA baws feel or hear the explosion?

Praying everyone is safe and okay.

Edit:

quote:

LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) - Several viewers reported hearing a loud boom in the area about 1:25 p.m. The noise came from Sasol, which is reporting a fire at its Lake Charles West plant. Spokeswoman Kim Cusimano says the plant’s emergency response team put out the fire. Cusimano says there is no community action required. All employees and contractors are safe and accounted for, according to Cusimano. She says no injuries have been reported. Copyright 2020 KPLC. All rights reserved.

From Twitter

My husband works at a plant in Westlake. I just texted him when I saw your tweet. He said he's fine and it was an explosion on the new side of Sasol, but they say the fire is out now.

Sasol? Is this 1984 and we’re playing M.U.L.E.?


I do hope everyone is okay there.
