our northern cal dog-rescue sent out a warning in the last hour -
the RICHMOND CALIFORNIA CHEVRON REFINERY has a fire blazing in one of the processing units: thick black smoke pouring out. no report yet on toxicity.
the health advisory is shelter-in-place, stay inside - keep pets inside - shut windows and turn off AC.
if there's a way to check on people with asthma or breathing problems as well as people with pets, make sure they're aware of the danger.
yeah. mostly we don't look at the refineries on the hills.
mostly we don't - because we're mostly unable to do anything about them -
but today... oily black smoke filling the eastern horizon.
