WAXAHACHIE - A fire chief said the Waxahachie chemical fire led to a civil emergency for Ellis County and the evacuation of about 1,000 people. The massive fire at the Magnablend chemical plant resulted in the Civil Authority announcing the emergency message. The Waxahachie fire chief said the fire started when chemicals were being mixed at the plant and had a bad reaction, creating an explosion. Containers holding unknown liquids could be seen exploding and melting.
Really gotta feel for the "little Metroplex towns that could" during October. While all the big dogs are straight puttin' on a show, the runts are forced to eat their own shit just to get a little attention. Dallas is getting people talking with the Fair, Komen Race for the Cure, Taylor Swift, and Boo at the Zoo, Arlington's killing it with Cowboys, Rangers post-season, and FrightFest, and even Fort Worth just brought the nation's greatest rivalry and smokefest to overtime. What's little ol' Waxahachie do to keep up? Just basically try to blow itself up with a Junior High chemistry class stunt. Only a couple of workers were hurt, no more than 1000 people had to evacuate, and a pretty gay chemical plant was destroyed, so I guess it was worth the cheap daytime cable news air time. Still though, maybe they could learn a little from the innovative minds in Azle and just elect a special needs kid Homecoming Queen. A lot less destruction, and every loves the feel-good stories. Just a poor move all around, Waxahachie. Maybe you can win some crappy month like March or something.
