Bellville, Tx Gas Plant Explosion

[TxDispatcher]

I haven't seen anything posted up about it, but say a prayer for the workers and those who live close to the Western International Gas Plant outside of Bellville. I don't have any details, just heard that there was an explosion. I hope and pray that there were no casualties, and that they get it contained and under control asap

Keep me posted. One of my old high school buddies runs that plant unless he has retired.

Sherrif said there were no injuries. No time line on how long hwy159 will be shut down. They are letting the fire burn itself out.

The evac radius was pushed out to 5 miles. I sure hope it burns out with no further explosions

Thank God nobody was killed. I drive by there on the way to the lease. The kids try to blame the smell on me.....

Going to be a shortage of AC cylinders in the near future. That plant supplied the entire state with AC.

Thankfully no one was injured or hurt as that could have gone south in a hurry.

They have shorten the evac radius back down to 1 mile.
