Folks from the Port Neches-Groves area came all the way to Austin to talk about the impacts the #TPCDisaster had on their family and health. One man said that the toxic air made him and his four month old daughter throw up.

Port Neches residents say they are not getting enough good information in time to make decisions on how to best respond to the #TPCdisaster. “I feel like there’s a lot we don’t know. They’re telling us just enough to keep us pacified.” https://t.co/MmJa5MSQE7
The #TPCDisaster marks a chance for communities in Southeast Texas to come together and organize for accountability, transparency, and tighter regulations of the chemical and fossil fuel industry in the area. Industry has been taking advantage of SETX for decades.
“I think we could have been more informed,” a Port Neches resident tells @BmtEnterprise. “I feel like there’s a lot we don’t know. They’re telling us just enough to keep us pacified.” #CleanUpTCEQ https://t.co/MmJa5MSQE7
@Mo_Bats No school should be that close to a plant like this. We need federal laws to protect our children from being forced to spend a majority of their developing years near toxic, cancer causing chemicals. #TPCdisaster
"We're used to smells in this area" and would remain in Port Neches because his grandchildren were there...
Another resident with a family...said she had lived in the area all her life but would now consider leaving.
"If we had the money we'd get up and get out." #TPCdisaster

Have you heard about the #TPCDisaster in Texas? A factory full of petrochemicals used in tires and gasoline exploded. A week later, it's still burning. Residents were evacuated over Thanksgiving, and then again this morning. https://t.co/BycnLnaGuf
@cathwfraser @TCEQ We’re the student’s sheltered in place, was school canceled, we’re the parents notified, etc??? What access to health screenings are being done if any? Are people just expected to suffer through this? This is a freaking disaster. #TPCdisaster.
This is absolutely unacceptable! Why are students forced to suffer because of adults negligence and they wonder why the youth are participating in the #ClimateStrike #Cop25Madrid2019 @tejasbarrios @CJAOurPower @Earthworks #TPCdisaster #TPCexplosion #PortNeches #TPCexplosion
The @TCEQ's Nederland High School air monitor recorded 164.43 ppb of #butadiene early this morning. Nederland High School is located about 5 miles west of the TPC Port Neches Plant. #TPCDisaster

"the levels have now been greatly reduced to non-irritating amounts...”
and literally in the same story,
"The current levels being measured...may cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, irritated eyes and throat.”
THAT IRRITATES ME!

“Residents in #PortNeches are dealing with the emotional aftermath of back-to-back explosions. TPC is coming to the rescue.” #WTF Seriously!! Objective journalism at its best. #TPCdisaster How should this headline really be written? Please share your non- “emotional” thoughts.
10PM LIVE REPORT: Angel San Juan in #PortNeches with a live report and the latest on a voluntary evacuation or shelter-in-place tonight in Port Neches due to elevated levels of butadiene from the TPC plant.

If your exempt from a voluntary evacuation does that mean you have to stay or leave? I’m confused!!! #TPCdisaster #PortNeches
“It is recommended you leave the area as quickly and safely as possible as a protective action. The people who are exempt from evacuation orders include nursing homes, refining facilities, patients in the hospital and healthcare workers." #TPCdisaster https://t.co/sYhLHcD8R4
