It will be interesting to see what happens to night if they get the high winds and heavy rain. At least the wind is under 60mph at this point.

The investigation will take some time, so official information will be a while out, is my guess.
Unofficial opinion is that it is a dust explosion combined with housekeeping.
Still smoldering this morning

Still smoldering and smoking. There was a big enough flair-up last Friday afternoon that the fire department responded.

As of Friday, about 90 % of the mess in the old warehouse area is gone, except for the stacked lumber.Brad wrote: ↑Sun Nov 16, 2025 3:48 amHere is an aerial photo I took earlier this month:BuildTaller wrote: ↑Wed Nov 12, 2025 10:14 pm They are currently hauling away the wood product from biofuels plant that exploded earlier this year.
