Looking southeast of Baton Rouge towards Prairieville/Gonzales there's a strange orange glow lighting up the sky, fading out, then glowing again back and forth.

Plant fire on the river?

I saw it a few minutes ago. Gotta be a plant flaring something off.

Plant flaring off on the other side of the river. It lights up everything on River Road.

Most likely the new burn off system at Williams. Yes, that is the plant that exploded years back. They have a new burn off system now that they are back up and running again, and it is huge....most likely it.

It's gotta be the new system at Williams.

For anyone in the know, why would it be going on and off like it is?

Hold on. Let me put feelers out.

It would be bright then dim if they were actively flaring.

Not sure....I actually have to go there in the morning to survey a barge for them. I will ask and report back.
And yes, I am being serious.ha
I am curious as well as to why it is not a constant burn off.

Flaring doesn't necessarily mean any danger. Could be starting up and or shutting down and needing to clear lines.

We mostly do fertilzer... Except for Honeywell and Williams.
Good to know there are others out there. I hate trying to explain to people what I do.ha
