I think anyone who lives within many miles SE of that plant would do well to go away on vacation just about now.

(10,538 posts)2. The state's response to the West fertilizer plant explosion was to make the chemical inventory
of these plants a secret. That is what our money in politics does. We must fight for Publicly Funded Elections. All of the plants here around Beaumont are releasing all kinds of toxic crap into the air starting back up. Many never stopped but still release their waste into the air when they have a "kitchen pass" from regulators like they do now.
