Hurricane Harvey has shattered the lives of people in Texas. To add to their miseries blast was reported in petrochemical plant at the Arkema facility in Crosby, Texas, early Thursday morning. The company says it expects “eight other containers to do the same thing” as the first one, company executive Richard Rennard said at a press conference. “We don’t want people returning back to their homes thinking this is over. It is not over." As the waters begin to recede and the recovery effort kicks into gear, officials have decided it is simply too dangerous to get close to the Arkema facility. They plan to keep the evacuation in place and let the organic peroxide burn.
