Thread on #PortNeches "an estimated 38,000 others live w/in a 3-mile radius of the plant.Three schools, two churches & a library are within a mile. Had the first blast occurred at 1 p.m. instead of 1 a.m., many more folks would have been in harm’s way."

2. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has oversight of the permitting and regulation of petrochemical facilities in the state. As of now the agency believes the #PortNeches TPC "incident" is under control. 
3. Follow the air quality yourself if you are so inclined. It's soothing to see "no odor" reported so frequently. This type of monitoring is debated in the area-dependent as is on wind direction and speed and the frequency of sampling. tceq.texas.gov/downloads/resp…
With all due respect Brock Long is wrong here. #slowdisaster
2. @MeetThePress @FEMA_Brock I understand the limits of what FEMA can do & I know what it’s legally required to do.
3. @MeetThePress @FEMA_Brock but the CDC guidelines dispute this take that somehow the disaster ends when the water subsides
