Chevron's Richmond refinery, the largest refinery in California, is under a Level 3 Hazardous Material extreme immediate warning with local authorities advising local citizens to "to shelter in place, go inside, close all windows and doors, turn off all heaters, air conditioners and fans. If not using the fireplace, close fireplace dampers and vents, and cover cracks around doors and windows with tape or damped towels." As KTVU2 comments, it appears massive and out of control currently. Live KRON4 stream embedded.

It's justifiably immoral to deal morally with an immoral entity.
If you trade based on what other people say, you will lose money. Especially what I say. I won't be held responsible. Festina lente.

I grew up in a small valley in W. Pa which had a lot of refineries. Having one of these 'go' would be a nightmare scenario given the location; it would wipe out several small towns.

The election is not a way to have a voice in government, but rather an impotent declaration if we prefer ketchup or mustard on our **** sandwich.

It's probably gonna SEVERELY impact gas prices. Especially on the west coast.

Helicopter shot from that second stream makes it look like it's NOT out of control.

At least for now.

Er... Scratch that. Just got a better view. They're pretty close with fire engines but they're not spraying the fire, they're spraying equipment, I guess to keep it from getting too hot...

That's not a good sign.

That much is good. Definitely not needed from a gas perspective.

It will be quite a few months before that refinery makes any product.
I've seen "rebuild miracles" but they are few and far between.

I've been flipping around news channels this morning and watching as much of the bull**** I can, but haven't seen anything about it.

MSM is ****ing useless. At least 2/3rds of the channels are talking about the election every time I check. The others are usually on commercial.

If California gasoline prices spike, it will most likely affect the November election.

As a politician, you want the price WAY down at least a month before the erection so the peasants forget about being angry about their petrol costs.

Glad I'm upwind from this refinery. So many are not. It's amazing how many people live densely in that neighborhood.
