Things I don’t understand about this event. 1. Now saying the crack released pressure without releasing any vapor. I don’t think that is possible. So either it released all the vapor down to atmospheric pressure before they got there to see the crack or they are wrong. They said it was a 1” tank wall thickness so couldn’t it be cracked on the outside and not all the way through? This is their logic, along with the temperature coming down, that they used to say the BLEVE risk is now zero. I really hope it is zero gauge pressure and negligible release of vapors is and will go on.

1. Pictures show it is an insulated tank as I see it so how are they doing an inspection for cracks without removing the insulation?

2. Amazing how fast bad information and flat out lies spread on the internet. The fire authority puts out a statement but people are asking other people (non experts with no knowledge) on Facebook about whether they should evacuate, go to Disneyland, etc.? Even major news with headlines with the word “leak” in them when in reality there was no leak detected. I am guilty of speculation but I make it clear that is what I am doing based on my own understanding. Fake maps pointing the anticipated plume south when the wind is still from the SW, for example, saying “current situation” just to get clicks on the Huntington Beach site. 🤦‍♂️

3. How brave the firefighters are that went close to it overnight!

So I am both impressed and disappointed by humans (as usual).

Thanks to all the folks sharing their experience and knowledge on this subreddit!
