Emergency crews are on site of a massive fire at the Bio-Lab Chemical Plant in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Thick, dark smoke poured from the plant, covering much of I-10 just a few hours after Hurricane Laura battered the area. As of now, there is no confirmed connection to the storm.
No injuries have been reported. Shelter-in-place orders are in effect for communities in the affected area.

Not sure if this is the old Olin or PPG site that is next to I-10 on the west side of the Lake, but back in the '70's I remember some fatalities of people driving through a plume on I-10. Dealing with the aftermath of a Cat 4 storm, extensive flooding, and now this?
Based on wind direction, I a guessing Westlake would be the area of concern, if anyone is still there.
These poor people.............
