“It’s Thanksgiving, a lot of people are displaced, they can’t go home,” Stephens told TV station KFDM. Jefferson County Judge Jeff Branick, the top county official, said Wednesday night that a loss of power at the plant prevented any investigation into the cause of the explosions or how much damage was done to the facility.Kim Brent, The Beaumont Enterprise via AP
“We’re staying focused on the safety of our emergency response personnel folks in and around in the community as well as trying to protect the environment,” said Troy Monk, the company’s director of health, safety and security.
