Crazy.  There are homes catching on fire from the heat.

Seems like they could've shut an upstream valve by now.

Agreed.

The ng is burning clean, but it’s also burning off all of the organic that are always in the air over there.

These are the homes on E. Meadow Dr.… Right next to the easement where the big fire is on Spencer Highway. Firefighters are watering down their homes to keep them from burning. Image from Air 11. #khou11

These people are gonna get a lot of bullshit from their insurance companies. I can picture the insurance reps saying they would have paid out for fire but not water damage. It’s always some bullshit like that.

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.

Maybe it’s time to rethink those bird killing windmills?

Good ole Stinkadena.  Good times.

Does it not rain in deer park?

#39

Also, looks like those three houses closest to the fire are fucked.  They aren't burning down, but they're taking real damage.

#40

 

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.

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. 

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
