via ABC13 ARKEMA: The first fire is "substantially out", but plant officials still believe other chemicals will ignite sometime in the future. Arkema: the residents SHOULD NOT return to their homes around the evacuation area due to the ongoing danger. Arkema: It's not possible to say how long this will play out, but it's likely the chemicals will ignite in the next few days. Arkema: we won't release more details about the chemicals involved because it's a safety issue (critics dispute this) Arkema has 8 containers that are still in danger. Water is beginning to recede and crews are beginning to have better access to the site. Arkema: officials believe there is 500,000 lbs of material at risk in containers. Arkema: we didn't try to "neutralize" the material with an agent, "just didn't seem like a practical solution." Arkema: were generators elevated? We can't tell you. Arkema: Other dangerous materials are being stored far from the explosive chemicals, "hundreds of yards" away. Q: Why not give out Tier II with redacted info if you feel there's danger? #Arkema: we won't post amounts and locations to prevent terrorism Q: What took so long to give a list of what was stored? #Arkema: we're managing our way through a crisis. Arkema: We knew we were in a floodplain, but we didn't expect this amount of water. We will use this in our planning events in the future. Arkema: the smoke is an irritant, "clearly we won't say there are no health effects." Arkema: We don't have a perfect record. We are trying to get better, including how we handle this situation. Q: What about livestock that need to be fed inside the evac zone? #Arkema: We're sending a team down to try to figure out these issues.
Wow. We can thank Abbott for enabling a corporation to tell the citizens of Texas to **** off. That's what they are doing.
Ain't that the truth. I don't even bother much with the GFS anymore. Run to run they have wild swings. Literally hundreds and thousands of miles difference with these systems. It's sad that our computer weather models are so inferior to the Euro models.
Hey the guy who posted here earlier is on the news, abc 13. The one taking successive pics of water rising right behind his back yard wrought iron fence, I recognized. He had an 11' alligator in his house! Don't remember his name, not sure how to find it. Wasn't that you?
Holy **** I was in lake Jackson and neighborhoods started flooding because of the river. I'm not going back down there anytime soon.

Mind linking the post? Don't see thread tools/search at the top of threads any more, but I'm certain it was the exact same location, shot from the same spot that someone posted images here.
Wasn't me. Flood waters thankfully never made it past the gate / back fence. Blessed to live in a newly constructed neighborhood where the flood prevention seemed to work flawlessly. Every retention pond filled up to the brim, all the access roads completely flooded, but no actual houses were damaged. Special thanks to whatever made that possible, whether it is construction regulation, or the neighborhood master planners brilliance.
Oh wow sorry about that, but I'm going to have to find video of that one- it looked exactly the same, the fence, the water, buildings in the background, length of the yard, everything. Anyway glad to know it wasn't you.
[QUOTE="J.R., post: 11289140, member: The City posts about rising water is complete bullshit. The Bayou is very slowly going down, about 14 inches from the peak judging from our official FEMA marker a drowned car. The only person people should listen to is Jeff Lindner, get on his Twitter, and donate to the gofundme to send him on vacation. He is the most trustworthy dude.
