Tell me you don’t know how an air conditioner works, without telling me you don’t know how an air conditioner works

If there is a fire spreading don't shelter in place, try to escape... Luckily that fire doesn't look that crazy.

[hiinsanity]

what’s up with all these facilities catching on fire and blowing up?

[Stormmaniac]

I live in wadena I drove around by where the fire was.. stay out of the smoke your fine I was more concerned about the outbreak of storms we had lingering..

[Coyote.]

Shut off my air conditioner don't think so LADY!

[outlawbillionairez]

RUN THE FK AWAY!!

Same thing happened in Omaha Nebraska.

[MandyCool]

Interesting. Omaha, Nebraska had a fire with the SAME situation today about the same time: 'unknown' cause, unnamed chemical plant, evac of area and stay indoors type of deal. I don't believe it's a coincidence at all. What I do want to know, is why; what are they hiding. What are they destroying at these plants. How is it supposed to impact the lives of everyday people?

[tp]

People out of smoke direction were not in danger... My opinion.

[douglashurd]

I'd drive upwind of dat chem brew, good grief .

[truepercula]

I stopped watching local news 20 years ago. Absolutely worthless.

The subtitles completely obscure the picture on the screen

[lifeongps]

Hey stop telling/ordering people what to do - Just put the fire out!

[Sonic_ParadoxYT]

What about what’s happening now? There’s a tornado watch where I’m at

[denisehill]

How much was some one paid to do this? 24 so far some that planes crashed into

[caririckman]

Shelter in place because smoke can irritate their eyes? Or because there was chemicals in it. Hmmm.

[mrmyth]

They must have a Primary going on and the GOP is out front…need a distraction to bring some ballots in.

[wallytverstol]

I think they had a tornado today as well. they have had some bad luck ove the years
