Woodlands-based Jew-blogger safe
by David Benzion · 08/07/2007 4:50 pmKTRK 13 is reporting a welding-tank explosion at the Hughes Christensen plant on Grogans Mill Road.
Despite my being only .4 miles from the explosion, not only was I not engulfed in a fireball, I continue to sit on my fat butt in climate controlled air-conditioning, drinking individually-brewed cups of gourmet coffee while writing absurd reports telling out-of-state politicians how to manipulate public opinion.
According to news reports…
The tanks continue to burn, filling the sky with smoke.
While I can hear multiple choppers in the air, I see no smoke in the sky… although this may have something to do with my refusal to walk outside the air-conditioned bubble with my individually-brewed cup of gourmet coffee.
I’ll update as warranted.
UPDATED– Sounds of choppers still in the air; additional cup required, have decided to go with Diedrich’s “Paradiso House”.
UPDATE II– Both my cups of coffee and the crisis appear to have passed.

If you can see the sky from your airconditioned bubble.. no need to step outside.
So we’re neighbors! Save me a cup of the aforementioned gourmet coffee.
As an atheist, I’d think you’d find an empty cup just as satisfying.
Let me go ahead and save the breath of the company’s spokesman as well that of any and all local air quality bureaucrats - “This accident poses no health or environmental contamination risk.”
Why step outside? You can feel the heat, see the flames, all up close and personal via the miracle of modern TV and idiot reporters who confuse proximity to a news story with knowledge of the news story.
#5 Tedtam, have you ever noticed news reporters are clueless about the geography of the Houston Metroplex? They announce there is a fire in the woodlands on the S.E. side…. it’s funny
I keep hoping the next hurricane or flood that they stand in will blow/sweep them away. Or at least mess up their hair.
And it’s in SUPERDOPPLER MEGA HD! (and transmitio en espinach!)

Where is ST, her store is right there at Sawdust Rd. If the framing store is in the news like the mortgage company my daughter worked for, then we are in big trouble.
SUPERDOPPLER I see it on the screen. ;))))

You forgot
#13 squawk you read my mind… scary
Those are maybe 20′ trailers used to store acetylene bottles. The CH. 13 story quotes a company spokesman as saying possibly the heat may have caused them to explode. What a moron ! He obviously never worked in a plant or around welding gases or he would know better.
Oh and, David, don’t forget to mention Dr. Ron Paul in those reports you are writing for out-of-state politicians. It always gets people’s attention.

GLOBAL WARMING ALERT! GLOBAL WARMING ALERT!
I too, was in the nice A/C, sipping my unsweetened iced tea (no insults on the unsweetened tea. My mama grew up poor and couldn’t afford to use a lot of sugar, o.k.?), using power tools, and watching it on the news. My boss was in all of the traffic. She came in to comment on it. I informed her that some dangerous chemicals exploded in her vicinity and they were informing that people in cars should turn off their A/C. You didn’t hear it on the radio? /snicker!
BTW: Aren’t they still looking for the cannister(s) of potent pool chemicals still missing?
#4 Lawrence C. and #13 Squawk: Too funny!
Watch for falling helicopters
I work basically right across the street. I was sitting in the parking garage preparing to leave work to go golfing when I heard an explosion. Afterward I heard some sirens but I didn’t know what had happened until my wife told me when I got home.
I’m glad none of the helicopters crashed. I’d hate to see some jaywalker charged with a crime for their deaths.
Are you a businessperson looking to sell your Rolls-Royces/premium coffees/rare art/spray-on bedliners to a discriminating breed of wealthy, high-class consumers? Take a look at a smattering of LST staff and readers:

Aren’t y’all glad that we are all o.k.?
Still looking for those missing chemical cannisters that went missing about a month ago.
We have a couple of Keurig coffee makers at my office. Very addicting when you consider we have over two dozen different kinds of coffee and tea available.
