Out of town for work, any reports on how friendswood fared?

Much appreciated.

I don't know about Friendswood, but some of the SAHMs on the Moms of Pearland Facebook page are FREAKING THE **** OUT about sending their kids to school with this big dangerous cloud a whole 23 miles away from us.


I'm sure one of them can supply the appropriate essential oils for the effects of gasoline fires

At the very least, they have some Rodan + Fields to keep everyone's skin clear.

I figured that might be the case, but what's the point of having the CEO (harris county judge) at an emergency? Unless giving a brief, I would assume most people would ignore the non-experienced people's opinion.

I doubt emmitt could do anything other than what's being done.

~egon
In this scenario, I believe the Harris County Judge is technically the Local On-Scene Coordinator (LOSC) unless she appoints a representative, for example the Harris County Fire Marshal or someone from the Hazmat Team. She is basically being kept in the loop, although judging by her press conferences, she doesn't appear to have a clue.

Same with Seabrook. They're like "who are all these so-called experts telling us we're perfectly safe?"

I'm like cdub - go to post, then delete and just roll my eyes.

On a side note, I sat behind jeff lindner at the monster jam a few weeks ago.

I have zero idea why people would freak out here in Seabrook. Of course I stay off our Neighborhood pages and social media in this area. People freak out around here when trash pick up happens past 5pm

I was just informed the fire is approaching a benzene tank.

It's beginning to look like this could get A LOT worse.

That's not good if true, considering the 2 tanks on the right were not on fire as of 11:30 this morning.

It could also explain why they're no trying to put it out instead of only trying to contain it.

There's always a place to put it, either onsite in other tanks or offsite. There's tons of other terminals on the ship channel that stores these components. Can always load it on barges too. These are only 80mb tanks.


I'm guessing you are an engineer and not in ops


I guess he has never seen an emergency flare going full bore.

Well until someone brings that over, this will have to suffice.

I did some work at the DuPont La Porte Plant, and one of the lines coming into the plant was a 48" acetylene line carrying ~97% of the production at the Rohm and Haas plant a few miles away. One of the operators said that if the DuPont unit had an upset, the production would go straight to the flare...at a cost of about $200k per hour to DuPont.

I'm in Seabrook but work right next to the place. There is no way they can tell me after 23 yrs of working with these chemicals that what's burning is non toxic. There is a 0 percent chance.

Nothing is vaporizing all staying liquid at this point so minimal risk of explosion, will just burn

That probably depends on the levels of both lakes Conroe and Houston, and how much is being released from both.


In all seriousness, I know at least one legit company down there than have shut down their 24hr operations based on some kind of inside info. Said to fill up your cars with gas in case someone decides to evacuate the Houston area... said they want to call for one but don't want to create panic. LOL

I called them a conspiracy theorist... but what do I know?

I do know the the fire prevention foam has leaked into the channel, and the rain sewer system has been compromised. That's all I'll say
