this was the arkema chemical plant in crosby, texas last night. the plant has been without power for days submerged under flood waters from hurricane harvey. and as the organic peroxides they produce have lost refrigeration, those chemicals have begun heating up and igniting. this was the fire yesterday after one container exploded. arkema executives warned that there were eight more containers of those peroxides on the site. the plant had 500,000 pounds of the stuff and the company said there was nothing to be done but to wait for the other containers to ignite as well. this is the chemical plant as of this evening. the company says two more containers have gone up in flames. as you can see, the flames and that black plume of smoke are just massive.
