Thanks philman_36. You're more informative than the local paper (that severs a metro population of near 6 million people)!

From your link:

Market sources said the explosions and subsequent fire occurred in an iso-octane unit on the west side of the complex, near several storage facilities. Those also are near a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) pipeline.

The storage facilities, which Enterprise acquired in 2001, consist of 30 salt-dome caverns with a total capacity of 77m bbl, according to the company’s website.

My pleasure. Shoddy reporting has that effect on me and when it raises my dander...well, you see the results.

I'm going to cease and desist for now until more is known.
