I know there’s a lot of plant guys here and all work the gulf coast for the most part. So I’m sure some of you have been here. No word yet on injuries
Felt as far as Lake Charles.

Damn. I have family that lives pretty close to there. That looks pretty bad. From the pics.

Saying there’s a lot of homes damaged in the area.
Found this on Facebook. Ladies front door was blown in...

Big turnaround at Huntsman

Looked at it on Maps, place looks like a solid 100+ acre butane/LP sphere farm.

Terrible...
Just looked at the Chemical Safety Board csb.gov website for info/alert, nothing yet. However, they do have an investigative team deployed in TX for two fatalities at another site.
Pretty sure they'll be heading your way when they wake.

Most of its speculation right now because you know how it spreads, but I read one of the butane tanks went up.
Of course, the probability of that being true is pretty slim.

I’m at the Total plant a few miles away working tonight.
It rattled us pretty good. I’m looking for new underwear as we speak.

I’ve been in a couple explosions, one in Sinclair Wyoming and one at PPG in lake Charles and it is pretty dang scary, but this type of explosion is way beyond what I was in! Had to be a propane storage or butane to cause that explosion! Wondering if it wasn’t a sphere

Can somebody briefly explain what a turnaround is? Assuming it is downtime for maintenance? Inspection? Cleaning?

Exactly. Some units only come down every 5-6 years so they are major multimillion dollar events that require hundreds of folks to pull off. Planning starts a year plus in advance. It’s also the time you would complete new capital projects on top of the maintenance/cleaning.
