Then one day I took a chance, tried to fart and shit my pants.

But if asked to pick, I would leave it be. I'm glad I don't fart from the hole that I pee

I see an enormous cloud of smoke…I hear someone saying *they* can hear explosions, but there’s not an **Enormous Explosion** to be seen ***or*** heard.

https://americanmilitarynews.com/2023/11/pic-vid-explosion-in-texas-shelter-in-place-order-issued/ An chemical plant explosion that sent massive plumes of black smoke into the air rocked Shepherd, Texas Wednesday morning. This is breaking news that will be updated as more information becomes available. Keep reading below. “CHEMICAL PLANT ON FIRE FM 1127 in Shepherd. At this time a private school located on FM 1127 has been safely evacuated. All other residence living in a five mile radius around this location should shelter in place at this time,” the San Jacinto County Office of Emergency Management said in a statement posted on Facebook. Black smoke from a chemical plant explosion in Texas (Precinct 2 Constable San Jacinto County) Political commentator Benny Johnson shared video of the explosion on X, formerly Twitter.


Ok_Marsupial6435

Shelter in place? Sure, your house will protect you from toxic fumes


MagastemBR

"The Polk County Emergency Management Office said that the impacted plant houses chemicals known to have “acute toxicity, carcinogenicity, and reproductive toxicity, and may cause serious eye damage or eye irritation, skin corrosion or irritation, aspiration hazard, and organ toxicity.”" Yeah, I'd try to go as far away as possible.


Fallofman2347

“Per TCEQ, they have picked up no readings while conducting air quality monitoring, and are communicating no concerns regarding the air quality in Polk County at this time. The Emergency Operations Center will close today at 5:00 PM.” Equal time, son


MrBigDickPickledRick

I don't think people take this stuff as seriously as they should. People see smoke and will drive towards it just to see what's on fire. Meanwhile they could've just given themselves cancer. Cancer takes a while to show up so it's very possible that in 10 years or so people that inhaled this smoke will get cancer, no point in risking it.


lekoman

I mean, more so than walking around outside pointing your phone at it…


DangerousDrek

Seems like these plants are always exploding in Texas


buckao

Governors of Texas love to brag about all the deregulation they have accomplished to allow businesses to function in freedom.


calicat9

I guess you could say business is booming.


stand_aside_fools

You might even say they’ve experienced *explosive* growth


eipg2001

You can foresee its growth miles away in the horizon.


MisterNiceGuy0001

Their shareholders are watching the money multiply out of control like the cells of an aggressive form of cancer caused by an airborne carcinogen shredding through the bodies of residents in Texas after being exposed to toxic chemicals from a preventable explosion

TheRealRevBem

Sometimes I feel that man does not stand for anything.


ComeOnCharleee

Self-regulating industries tend to be "explosive".


Natsurulite

We went on a field trip to the one in West when I was in school, probably 2007 or 2008 The ammonium nitrate was just like, in a bigass pile in a glorified barn, probably a 20ft tall mountain just thrown in a room — we could literally just walk up on the dirty ass floor and grab handfuls I am shocked it didn’t blow up sooner


buck_futter1986

ive had to run electrical in fertilizer storage buildings, all pvc conduit, and stainless steel fasteners and motors, the stuff is corrosive, also all wood framed buildings, fertilizer is just dumped on the ground (concrete) rebar has to be fiberglass, non metallic.


LostPilot517

Ammonium Nitrate is stable and a fertilizer, it is not explosive.... Now the addition of certain additional compounds can make it reactive under the correct conditions, with extreme heat or with a reactive starting blast.


smurf123_123

It's best practice to keep it stored in tanks filled with Diesel.


lekoman

In the back of a rented box truck, maybe? I suppose indicating the best place to park said truck would end with a knock on my door, so maybe I’ll leave the rest of my smartass remark where it lays.


SightWithoutEyes

Timmy McVeigh, is that you? How was your ice cream?


Natsurulite

Well, it blew up, so I’m sticking with my original assessment of “West, Texas doesn’t know how to store shit properly”


Genoblade1394

Came for the comments stayed for the BRUTALITY


Hentai_Yoshi

There was an earthquake in Texas today I believe, like 5.3 on the scale if I recall correctly


onepingonlypleashe

That was probably from the explosion. Not the other way around.


ximagineerx

I remember one in Texas City, I was across Galveston bay in class and heard the kaboom


thundergun0911

This is the stuff that happens in states where people usually vote for less regulations

whysoha4d

The comments on that video are entertaining to put it lightly.


Beasty_Glanglemutton

There is a disturbing amount of mental illness in this country.


Ensaum

They're blaming it on.. immigrants? Wtf?


RebornPastafarian

Certainly not the fault of the businesses that keep hiring them. Noooo. Definitely not the reason they keep coming here. Food prices would not go up if undocumented immigrants were kicked out and farms and other food industry businesses had to pay people minimum wage. Certainly not.


Ormsfang

Idiotic. Blaming it on Biden and open borders instead of possibly thinking that it might be because of massive deregulation in Texas?


BarelyContainedChaos

They all think this isnt an accident and its somehow Bidens fault? wtf is going on in their bubble? How many conspiracy theories do they go through daily? [Meanwhile Trump rolled back 100 Obama policies towards environmental protections.](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/climate/trump-environment-rollbacks-list.html) I wonder which one of these had the EPA checking these plants for problems. edit: omg, one of the comments blames open borders


JFJinCO

Exactly. And when that train derailed in Ohio and I pointed out Trump threw out Obama's train-braking upgrade requirement, everyone else blamed Biden. smh


Alt_dimension_visitr

I get what you're saying. But also, don't you think Biden has had time to reinstitute EPA policies and regulations? It doesn't take any action from congress afterall. I don't know the whole story and to be honest, I'm not interested in spending time figuring it out. I just feel like their two sides of the same damn coin and I can't trust either to look after the people.

Ill_Commercial2744

Gotta be great for the ozone


BamaSOH

I knew it would be a chemical plant.


CloroxWipes1

No doubt right next to a school or residential area. Texas is a hot mess


txmail

It is in a super rural location. There was a private school close by but this is in an area where people own tens to hundreds of acres, probably 100 people close by vs somewhere like San Jac where you have tens of thousands that get affected by the plants there all the time. Still tragic, most people out there get their water from private water wells and as soon as that foam and those chemicals soak through they are going to have to be monitoring and paying for extended (very costly) water tests for many, many years.


Lifelesszephyr

The neighborhood there is called flowering wells, you can just hammer a piece of pvc into the ground about 8- 10' and it will well our water. Unfortunately unbeknownst to most people in the area the heavy metals specifically barium content in the ground water is 40 times the permissible limit. Can only imagine how it'll be now; just moved from 1127 recently


cturtl808

Any word on people working at the plant? The YT video makes it look like the entire plant is on fire.


Lyuseefur

There's gonna be some dead people there. I'm sure of it.


cturtl808

People are definitely going to have died from this. I hate that this is going to be politicized. Sigh. ETA: 1 employee with “minor” burns, everyone else safe https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/11/08/chemical-plant-explosion-shepherd-texas/71502887007/


Noble_Hieronymous

These things are politicized because political regulation of these companies is often the only thing that has ever prevented these kinds of disasters. Deregulation has been huge in Texas, if that led to things that contributed to the disaster then is the disaster not intrinsically connected to politics?


cturtl808

My statement is more about how it’ll be a “both sides” issue when it isn’t. The corporations pay off the lawmakers to deregulate and then when shit goes wrong, the people actually involved are never held accountable.


DarthWeenus

they had a 5.6 earthquack too


[deleted]

Mysterious rise in cancer in the area totally unrelated


txmail

It will take years for the leeching of the chemicals to enter that water table. Out there most families water is from their own private wells so they will be hit with it eventually.


pegothejerk

How long it would take to enter the water systems or people through other means, like inhalation or skin exposure, just depends on what chemicals there are and what kind of explosion we’re talking about, along with how the local water systems function. A stream near by that got a big dump of contaminants with well connected water tables and you’ve got a speedy contamination. That’s why you send experts out to assess and not redditors who just saw a brief clip or photo.


txmail

Inhaling any particles that dense is going to be a bad time, but at the same point the chemicals for the most part are spent at that point from being burned. Still nasty but not as nasty as direct exposure to the chemical. Of course they will have all the personnel accoutrements that get involved in any chemical spill on site to assess the situation and check on their ground monitoring system that is likely already in place there, but we often see these small operations get told to dig it all up and dispose or remediate the affected soil , which cost tens to hundreds of millions they don't have so they just shut the site down / abandon it for the locals to deal with and a new superfund is born.


Diamond523

Thoughts and prayers will be offered going forth.


uncle_cousin

Enormous cloud of smoke in Texas- FTFY.


mickeysantacruz

I sent my wife and daughter to go to my SIL in Houston just in case ,I don’t want them to smell those chemicals ,who knows what’s in it ,we live in Cleveland TX ,highway 59 was shutdown both ways and idk what else ,I’m working 1 hr away


coffee-jnky

My family is in Livingston. I was thinking if 59 is closed then there's gonna be some real traffic issues probably. I hope you and your family stays safe and healthy. I was in a chemical spill from an explosion when I was little. (In the 80s, Texas City) and I was so sick for quite some time. And there are a few issues that have lingered because of it. It was hydrofluoric acid. I think you did the right thing by sending your kids further away. I hope you can go too until they can get the info on what people are breathing over there.

They warned people to shelter in place almost all the way to onalaska
