Fires at chemical plants are typically really not good.

I hope that’s not the way the camera is typically aimed.

Do you have people regularly watching cameras for stuff or do you get some alerting?

I don’t think he’s posting two month old pics from the weather cameras he monitors daily.

Fair, I didn't understand where that picture was from and when I googled, all I got was that two month old stuff.

They are a customer of ours and we had orders in process we were delivering tomorrow. We made some calls and we won't be delivering that shipment tomorrow. I can't say I know anymore than anyone other than we aren't delivering that shipment tomorrow. We all may find out a little more as the day progresses.

I apologize for being a bit snarky.

I wasn’t kidding about fires at ag chemical plants being not good. I hope they were lucky and nobody was or is hurt.

It's not. But it's where the fire is so not much choice.

Little of both. We have people that try to keep an eye on them periodically and they also have AI functions we can set to watch storms and fires. We're also pretty tied in to EMA reports and get alerts that way, too.

Last update I got is the fire is under control, but a shelter in place order is in effect. This info is an hour or so old so things may have changed.
