How will the media put a racial spin in this story? They are itching for one

I live about 2 miles cross country from the plant

It shook the house so hard this morning I thought a tree fell on the house. I turned on lights and went out on the deck to see what was going on only to here another smaller explosion. I went around front and saw the smoke and lit sky I thought a neighbor's house was on fire. I drove down my road only to see it was accross the fields in the area of this plant. I thought then that it was either that plant or a main gas line that runs through our part of the county. There was a roar that sounded like a jet engine idling.

I work in Tupelo. By the time I got here the smoke was over Tupelo like a cloud layer. From Beldon you could see the plume of smoke rising over NA and fanning out towards Tupelo.

WTVA has a video link showing the plant burning.

Now that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

How so? I don't get that from either of the linked articles.

It's still burning as of 5:00 PM started around 6:00 AM. Smoke cloud is showing up on the WTVA weather radar.

I do. Live about 5 miles from there. Actually work 1/8 of a mile from where it was. They wouldn't let us work because of the fumes. I heard and felt it at my house.
