Oil Depot explosion....

<I don't know where anyone lives... figured he might have heard them if there, though...>

I grew up next to a firework factory. One night a disgruntled worker decided to commit suicide by taking a forklift, piling all the fireworks and explosive in the corner and torch the son of bitch.

We were all running around the house in the middle of the night with no lights. I still can't figure out were we thought we were running to.

It's funny how men can go from being big tough guys to little boys running around in there underwear

Or NO underwear, as the case may be......

wowsa

I'll put a word in for you guys with the big guy upstairs. You guys still don't have an all clear yet.

You mean........it's time to aimlessly run round the bedroom again?

The clear implication is that you ought not to have stopped . . .

Lord E.

Glad to hear you (and the others) were unscathed by the blast.

Boris will be in my thoughts.

As for running around the bedroom, why not ?

Fish dying? What about everyone else, with all that poison?

Break out the WW II gasmasks!

I'm afraid so Ellpus. Keep running till you get further notice from the government(underwear optional). At least thats what we do in america.

( I'm just joking. Don't be calling Homeland security on me now)

from the BBC

do you have apH meter? the nox fumes will maybe account for some acid deposition. In that case, keep your aerator running and keep some bicarbonate handy as a buffer. DDOnt screw with anythging unless you have to . Fish oughta make it ok .

we had a mega fire at an ARCO refinery near Philly about 20 years ago. It had a smoke column that was visible for 50 miles.

The smoke cloud had the seize of Luxembourg I've heard some hours ago.

same source as above.

Looks more like an outline map of Lichtenstein . . .

Our prayers are with you, Lord Ellpus, and of course, Lady Ellpus and Boris and everyone else affected by this tragedy.

thanks for advice Farmerman. Steve and Mrs Steve awakend by sound like large object falling on roof. Maybe the last known flying elephant bird or something. Anyway Mrs S said Wahts that? I said its either the oil terminal at Hemel blowing up, or its the extinction of the flying elephant bird, or its a sudden gust of wind. We agreed it was a gust of wind. Well it was in a way. Anyway we are ok and not really disturbed at all as the wind is blowing all the sh1t south of here. And Walter phoned all is well.

Actually there was a large plume of what I thought was clouds west of here, but its been an absolutely clear day so it was probably a mixture of dioxins, aromatic polyhydrocabons and benzene + added carcinogens anyway air here just as excellent as normal. cough.

Boris lives JUST here......

OOOOOHHHHH!

Should I take my shirts off the washing line?

no but take the undies in

you wouldnt want any embarrassing stains
