I hear there's 20 dead at the refinery explosion in Superior. I know a number of us here are in NW WI.
Hope you guys and your families are ok.

DAMN CROSSBOWS.....I hope everyone that has family and friends are fine and no serious damage is done. Hopefully the plant is still operational so the workers continue employment.

I thought that goop tank was hit with a recurve starting the leak?

First report on the news this morning said 20 deaths but later corrected that to 11 injured. Prayers for all those folks. Gas prices will be $4.00 a gallon by Saturday.

Here is a story at the link. Updates have been coming on the radio and TV all day. I didn't realize that they processed and stored that much crude.
