Petroleum plant explosion sends chemicals burning into the air
A huge explosion took place at a Shepherd, Texas chemical plant on Wednesday, causing officials to ask some residents to evacuate and others to shelter in place and turn off their air conditioning units.
According to the Precinct 2 Constable of San Jacinto County, the building where the explosion took place was a petroleum processing plant.
However, Polk County officials told NBC News, “At this time, the effects of the chemical in the air are unknown.”
Smoke from the explosion is reportedly heading in the direction of Livingston, Texas.
