Pentane plus comprises pentane, isopentane, and/or heavier weight hydrocarbons, for example hydrocarbon compounds containing at least one of C5 through C8+."
September 16, 20241 yr Author News is saying that it's possible a car entered the location and struck a valve?? Wtf.

September 16, 20241 yr This one happened about three miles from where I was washing my boat: https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/live-video-explosion-rocks-north-texas/1871302/ They hit a 36" major transmission line. It made the explosions on the Ukraine thread look rather mild. It was a pants shitting moment. CHIEF

September 16, 20241 yr Also, looks like those three houses closest to the fire are fucked. They aren't burning down, but they're taking real damage.
September 16, 20241 yr I want to know about the 'preliminary reports' that say a car struck the valve. Those preliminary reports don't seem to be on the web anywhere that Google will show me. The partially burnt car in the TV News drone footage is a good 30 feet from the fire. Is that the car? Was it a Drunk Driver at 10am in the morning? A domestic Terrorist? A former employee? So many questions. My attention span is short these days. I need answers now.

September 16, 20241 yr Even with a upstream valve shut off, it still takes a while for residual gas to burn off. Unless the upstream valve was also hit by a car.

Unless the upstream valve was also hit by a car. Pipelines hold a shitton, local news said the pipe was was 1400PSI at the time of the rupture. And the rupture happened at one of the pipeline isolation valves so the fire is getting fed by two multi-mile mile segments of isolated 20" diameter pipe. Deer Park mayor said it's likely gonna burn through the night. Thank God the EPA has been stripped of its authority and power and we get to enjoy the free spicy air in H-town
