    "Double chalupa" at 1:06. Not sure about all the sentimental music, etc, but I love the double chalupa sighting. :D

    They're saying those were vapor pressure relief valves popping from a chemical reaction, not real explosions. What the technical difference between a pop that loud and explosion is idk, maybe combustion has to be involved.

    There was a run on gas two days ago here in the RGV. Crappy news station reported that gas trucks would not be coming in. All the gas stations had lines to get gas. It was all panic. Many stations ran dry. Sure enough, the next morning, trucks were refilling the stations. I filled up after work...no lines, no worries. Then the people here in the valley wonder why we are considered the ass end of the country.

    This can't be right, I'm looking at it live right now & I see flames. A pop with flames, how is that not an explosion.

    Irma looks like it's going to blow up into a Cat 5 in the next couple of days -- more rapid development.

    Well. F***. One problem at a time. It is headed directly to the Caribbean for now. After that is anyone's guess. Worrying times for everyone in the US and in the islands.

    My boss just went into a panic this morning and told us all to go fill up and also fill any extra containers we may have. He is out of town right now and told us to make sure and get a much as we can for him. LOL he always gets so paranoid. I just went to Kroger at Shepherd/11th and literally wide open. No waits or lines.

    The chances that Irma will affect Texas is extremely slim. There's as much chance it hits the east coast or Mexico...or even curves around back to the mid-Atlantic as it does even making it past Florida.

    Right now the bigger threat is what's going on in the gulf.
