I think all the tanks have been drained that are not on fire. We had the police here this morning and there's no immediate plans to evacuate at the moment. Believe me if i thought for one minute they were lying you wouldn't see me for dust. I'd be running down the M1 faster than any of the cars

Rain_
12-12-2005, 11:59
ewwww no they haven't been drained, it's on the news now that there are still full tanks and fire crews are creating a blanket of water between them and the fire to stop them from catching...maybe i will start running soon

There's no wind, it's just hanging there. It's really weird because it looks like it's just a dark day. Wouldn't be so surreal if you could actually see some of it breaking up.

I wish i could!!!!! Roads are closed!!! God does NOT want me to leave Hemel. It's a conspiracy between him and my boss to keep me here i'm sure it is !!!

It's still going strong and they've evacuated half of our offices. Our wages department is in the buildings next to the refinary and they went up in flames. Non of us will get paid on time this month which is a bit of a nightmare !!!

Did anyone see the pics in the paper? The smoke covered the entire London skyline!

Abi
13-12-2005, 12:33
I didn't see any of that smoke, even though i heard and felt it. I was wondering it they exagerated the pictures, as it was just a dull day where i am!!

Siobhan

My niece lives close to there.. I haven't hear anything from her yet.. will check with my sister again today

Abi
13-12-2005, 12:36
Mind you, i am on the other side of London from the Docklands and Canary Walarf...

Rain_
13-12-2005, 12:38
It just looks like it's a dull dark day. There's no news filtering through to us on when it's going to be out. I think they're fighting a losing battle at the moment.

Abi

Apparently most of the fire is out, but the biggest one of the fires is still going. They say that it will still be dangerous, if not more, when it is out, as the cloud of gas will cool down, and fall in the rain to earth, so a lot more pollution and stuff will happen. I'd stay indoors if i were you!!
