Hope all our people are OK. It looks real bad. Commuters may be impacted.

Looks pretty bad. I wonder if the earthquake created a leak of some kind.

Expect a spike in gas prices in 3,2,1

Which law firm is going to get their teams boots on the ground first in local communities to sign up clients for breathing issues?

 

[Eldritch]

CHP says they are going to close 80, so if that is your commute, you may be fucked. Fire is HERE.

Boo - got married in Crockett - it will always have a special place in my heart.

It will probably be fine in a few days unless that jumps to the other containers.

Probably a tank exploding. News said a passerby saw the roof flying.

The Helicopter footage is showing one tank completely detonated, there are scorched black hills in what looks like 100 yards in every direction. Must have been a hell of a sight.

Wow! Was on the boat and felt it then heard it.

Going to be a nightmare of a commute for anyone who would normally take 80.
Especially if that’s south of hwy4

 

[Brokenlink]

Damn. You guys take care down there.

 

[budman]

Good luck firefighters.

Stay safe.

 

[Climber]

6+ hour closure of I80!

The commute is going to be an absolute nightmare for folks around there!

They were ethanol tanks. Hopefully, they will ban ethanol from being added to gas because of this. Think of the children! I saw you ban vaping due to a statistically insignificant number of unproven instances, I KNOW you can do the same for the horror of 'splody ethanol!

680, 580, and 37 will be destroyed too.

LOL, Bruh, they already seriously talking about banning Internal Combustion Engines. No need to go there.
