Just caught that on the midday news here; it's the lead story on all the stations. ABC reporter said they could see the smoke from 40 miles away as they came in from the Chicago suburbs Which way is the wind blowing? Hopefully away from you..... edit: The smoke is showing up on radar way south of the fire and all the way down here, so I guess the winds must be from the north....

Yes, wind is pushing it south and it is 5 miles south of here. We are prepared to leave but staying put for now. | |||

Hope the wind holds. Windfinder.com might help you determine what to do.

I can't find any reports of injuries or deaths so it looks like everyone got out in time.

I think you're right; there's been no mention of injuries or deaths on our local news. They just keep talking about the fact that the fire continues to burn.

Yes, everyone got out. One one firefighter suffered some minor injuries. Day 2. https://www.mystateline.com/vi...l-explosion/6721822/ | |||

Wow, the whole plant is just totally destroyed!!! Did you say the plant is five miles from you? And are you anticipating you won't have to evacuate? This says it could burn for days: https://www.usatoday.com/story...-burning/7697638002/

We are still here. The wind has never stopped blowing this crap away from us. There by the luck of the universe goes another, and all that. It looks like they will have this out soon. If it is still smoldering and the wind shifts we have our bug-out bags at the ready. The community response to this disaster has been awesome. People donating everything from cash, water, gatorade, meals, for the first responders, etc. The normal disaster relief groups are here as well. | |||
