I'm sheltering in place right now. Wonderful company.
UPDATE @ 2:59am
From The Associated Press:
INSTITUTE, W.Va. (AP) - One worker is missing and a second was injured in an explosion at a Bayer CropScience plant that forced thousands of nearby residents to shelter in place.
Bayer spokesman Mike Wey says the explosion occurred about 10:25 p.m. Thursday. The explosion, which witnesses say sent a fireball hundreds of feet into the air, ignited waste residue in a section of the plant that produces insecticides.
Wey says the injured worker suffered burns and was transferred to a Pittsburgh hospital for treatment. Wey said both workers are senior employees at the plant.
He said a search for the missing worker won't be conducted until the fire is extinguished.
The plant is located about 10 miles west of Charleston, WV
