Tangipahoa Parish

 Four days ago, Smitty's Supply in Roseland, LA blew up.  Smitty's is an oil and lubricants supplier on the Tangipahoa river in Louisiana. Everybody is pissed.  Rightfully so.  Oil fires leave a huge environmental footprint, and it is on the river and only four days have elapsed, so the answers aren't forthcoming right now.

PawPaw is in central Louisiana, so we're fine  We're just watching the drama and keeping track of our own little day-to-day.

Luckily, no one was hurt in the explosion of fire, so that is a blessing.  Tangipahoa parish will recover and the clean-up should begin shortly.  Then, the lawyers get involved and complicate what should be a very simple, straightforward process.
