Default Sugar Refinery Explosion

There was a massive explosion at the Imperial Sugar plant in Port
Wentworth, Georgia last night around 8PM Eastern. It's just north of
Savannah, GA; I fly into the airport there to get to my parents' home
in SC.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/08/ref...ast/index.html

I don't know how much cane sugar this plant provides to food mfg.
companies and consumers but there won't be any sugar refined there any
time soon.

Glad to see you are o.k. I worried about you during the recent storms in

Scarcely, Andy. They've found bodies in tunnels under the refinery.

I'm in South Carolina at present. Everything at my home is fine; the
tornadoes didn't hit where my apartment (or my brother's houses) are.
Thanks for your concern!

Actually, isn't that his *former* home? I think he now lives in VA. (After
we moved to MD, hubby found out that Delay was moving up to this part of the
country as well. We weren't too happy that he was following us...

Land. "Third-best place to live in the U.S.", my ass.
