The question is will it stop at just those 15 tanks or will it jump to another cluster? Is that even possible?

Got me, those are 80,000 barrel tanks though. 3.3 million gallons...each, at full capacity.

That's almost 50 million gallons of fuel if they are all full up.

Far as I heard, they are all holding flammable fuel like Naphtha, toluene, stuff like that, basically paint thinner type chemicals.

Heat from the fire starts boiling the other tanks, things get goin pretty quick.

No idea how many tanks or how much could be drained off, if any.

yup. if something reaches its combustion temperature,
for whatever reason, it's going to burst into flames.

Wind direction seems to have shifted some, don't know if that's for the better, or for the worse.

Shifted back, fire looks worse though, much brighter, really lighting up the smoke cloud.

Fascinating to watch.

A man in Pasadena says this morning he and neighbors found what they believe is ash, on their cars, roofs, and driveways. He says when he touched one of the items, it turned into dust and left black marks on his hand. He didn’t pick up any more after that. @KPRC2 #ITCfire #KPRC2

Nothing good, only more heat, more fire, everything bad.

"IF" there is propane around that area? a lot of it would leveled.

Hard to find any pics that really show the full layout of the area well, but there does seem to be some pressure vessels close enough to be a concern, right across the rail yard.

Who knows what is in the other large tanks close by, could be any petro chemicals.

for the 4 or 500 yard radius Explosion Death Zone, probably.
but i don't think this kind of a situation is going to Explode.
rather, it's just going to burn like a giant kerosene lamp
until well into Wednesday.

making this horrific giant rope of toxic gas and toxic soot.
