Whopping Big Chemical Fire in KC

Wheee!!! Some chemical distribution plant in the bottoms here in KC is blazing away. No one has said what's actually burning outside of saying "petroleum product in a heated tank", but its ripping. The smoke plume is stretching about ten miles or more across town, and the smoke is precipitating some sort of styromfoam-like ash. Schools and public offices downtown have been evacuated, the EPA is out in force. I can see the plume going by outside my office window, and the fire is like six miles away from me.
