hope everyone is safe.
my brother works on the oil refineries, and he just got back a few days ago after spending the last month in Texas and Louisiana. His assignment took him to , among other places, Midland, which is like 40 miles west of Big Spring.
I know he makes good money, anyone who works in oil does, but this is the reason why, there is always a huge risk involved.
Keep us up to date . Anyone close to the scene? or can see the smoke?

The last I heard was 5 injuries, but had just heard 4 before that somewhere else, so not sure. One worker was sent to a burn unit. No deaths though! It blew the doors off a school building that was several miles away, and they said it shook buildings 50 miles away. Local folks said it felt like an earthquake.

I'm glad to see that there weren't any deaths.
