Immediate prayers!
 

explosion this morning at the Williams Olefins facility in
Giesmar.........does not look good on the surface........hwy 30 completely shutdown.......still on fire........not everyone accounted for yet, but we are early.......so let's pray that everyone is safe.

Just had a pic sent to me on my cell. It looks pretty bad but, there were a lot of people walking out in the pic so, that's a good sign.

Keep us updated! Prayers going out!

Any shelter in place or is the release minimal??

yea, I'm hoping for good news. I have quite a few buddies out there.........

Tell whomever sent you that pic to make sure they are deleting them.....there will be a smackdown of attorneys on this one

I got a text from WWL a little while ago. Hope everyone is okay.

Prayers to all. Saw pics too...looks bad

Yes, shelter in place, not sure on a release......

Iberville EOC reporting 7 fatalities.......(third hand info guys, I did not see it myself).......

RUMORS are as many as 14 fatalities.....Hwy thirty is now shut down all the way to Gonzales.......

Very conflicting reports.............NOW saying seven "injuries" one missing.........

When something like that happens you always get conflicting reports.

prayers sent!!!

I DO NOT know the photographer of this pic. I just saw it on FB.

The Creole is reporting that 5 have been airlifted to Our Lady of the Lake thus far.

Prayers sent!

Now that's some black smoke!

Yeah, we could see it from the back of the shop this morning. I initially thought it was rain clouds forming until I read what had happened.

Bad deal for sure!

No fatalities at this point...GREAT NEWS!

USA reporting one death now.........over 30 injured......

That's terrible. Prayers sent to the families and victims.

Buddy was working on a crane when the explosion occurred, glad he wasn't on top of one of those stacks like he usually is. Said people were climbing the fence to get out of the plant. Bet the bottom feeders are parked outside signing up the LCD's as I type.

latest 73 injured and one fatality . Guy from hammond was killed.

Prayers sent!!!!!!

I am proud to say that I was a very small part in a large group today from a neighboring plant that took part in evacuating over 500 people today in the heat of the moment and my prayers do go out to all families involved! I saw things today that will make a grown man break down! I helped coridnate the elementary school people were bussed to. When that was over I went to Lamar Dixon!

It was a sad day indeed, but also a day I am proud to be from South Louisiana, from the first responders, the the team at St. Elizabeth joining hands in prayer outside the emergency room.......I have friends and family in both places.....we are particullarly blessed to live here
