Were you or someone you know affected by the Port Neches, TX chemical plant explosion?
Step 1
An explosion at the TPC chemical plant in Port Neches, TX sent three workers to the hospital, along with at least five others sprayed by shattered glass, and prompted mandatory evacuations and orders for other area residents to not leave their homes.
The processing unit suspected to be involved produces butadiene, a precursor chemical used in synthetic rubber, State environmental monitors did not immediately detect any unusually elevated levels of chemicals emanating from the plant and the company said it had teams monitoring the air “along the fence line.”

Footage shows a flash of light before the plant was engulfed by flames. One video shows the door of a nearby house being blown off its hinges. The first blast at 01:00 local time (07:00 GMT) on Wednesday was followed by a series of secondary explosions. It is not yet known what caused the blast, which was felt 30 miles (48km) away from the TPC Group plant.
A further large blast took place at 14:00 on Wednesday - sparking the evacuation order. The mandatory evacuation zone covers a 6.4 km (4 mile) radius of the facility, including the towns of Port Neches, Groves, parts of nearby Nederland and Port Arthur. Officials said they were not sure when evacuated people would be able to return to their homes. TPC Group said in a statement that it has activated its emergency response plan and requested assistance from Port Neches Fire Department. Port Neches residents told local news outlet KDFM that windows had blown out miles away from the plant.
