If anyone turns on like CNN, MSNBC, etc. you will eventually see that the meat-packing plant Patrich Cudahy in WI is burning since last night. It's in Cudahy, right next to South Milwaukee which is where I live. They are evacuating people within 1 mile radius, and I'm almost 4.5 miles away. My windows are all open and I think I can smell a little bit of something funky. The news is saying that south milwaukee is really helping out a lot in this. We are "sharing" our water with them now to fight the blaze and stuff. Apparently the people that had to evacuate are being "kept" at the south milwaukee high school. They just said that like 15,000 have been evacuated in that 1 sq. mile, and their pop. is only 19,000 something. That's nuts! They are telling everyone to conserve water because they are afraid that they will run out of water to fight it. The Cudahy mayor seems very worried and scared on TV right now. They are most worried about a burning ammonia smell, and a potential huge explosion. They already pumped 8.5 million gallons of water on this. No injuries yet, but considering that that town (along with mine) are very tightly packed into a very small area, if there's an explosion who knows what's going to happen.
This is kinda sad, Patrick Cudahy is almost like a historical landmark around here. Anyone in SE wisconsin knows this.
They say they're not even close to giving an all-clear for the people living around there. I know I shouldn't be, but I'm kinda freaking myself out (I tend to overreact
).
(This is weird, Pirate and Mia are hiding right now. They never hide in the middle of the day like this, ever. They must smell it too and sense something funky going on.)
