Texas Chemical Plant Explosion

Three workers were injured and residents of four towns were told to evacuate after explosions on Wednesday at a Texas petrochemical plant, the latest in a series of chemical plant accidents in the region.

An explosion at a chemical plant in Texas early Wednesday sent a large fireball into the sky, media reports said, triggering a mandatory evacuation.

A flood-hit southeast Texas city lost its drinking water supply and police and soldiers rescued thousands still stranded on Thursday after powerful storm Harvey killed 44 people and displaced more than a million on the Gulf Coast.

The operators of a chemical plant left without power by floodwaters said Thursday that two explosions rocked the facility and warned that more blasts could occur as rising temperatures make the compounds inside volatile and dangerous.

Local emergency officials on Thursday reported two explosions at a flooded chemical plant in the Texas town of Crosby, its operators Arkema Inc said.

Four people were killed when an explosion tore through a DuPont plant in Texas on Saturday after a chemical leak, the plant manager said.
