Power Cuts Hit BP, Marathon, Valero Texas Plants, flairs are huge! looks like plants are on fire!!!

The Texas Attorney General has sued BP for pollution from the refinery during a 40-day release in April and May of 2010 that sent 500,000 pounds of pollutants into the air.

"There was like a lightning flash back where the plants are," said Jennifer Reynolds, who lives in Texas City about 2 miles from the BP refinery. "The sky lit up from the flares. My lungs are burning. It smells awful."

Stuxnet!!

Is there storms on the coast??? I'm up here in West Texas- no storm just alot of wind.

Weather is pretty much clear across Texas, just som wind in areas. I wonder if it was a powergrid overload ?

No Clue. I just spoke with my dad who works at Marathon. He said when he arrived at work this morning they didn't have power either. I'll try and get more information from him.

Any links with photos?

Hmmm, I wonder if those "sticky patches of bacteria and algae" that gave Israel a problem recently have migrated...
