I hope and pray that the residents of this disaster ridden community are dealing with this as well as possible and for the racers of this forum who live there are okay.

I know D3 superstock racers Terry and Aaron Allison are smack dab in the middle of it. Sending prayers for the Allison family and everyone else affected by this disaster .

It reminds me the Megantic Lake rail disaster and how we are close everyday of those potential events.
Local people remember this each day of their life,

February 9 2003 we had a bad one just a few miles from us in Tamoroa Illinois. Some of the cars leaked some pretty bad chemicals. I hope people keep the pressure on like they did here. And make the railroad clean it up right. And take care of the people exposed. Not just today but into the future if people develop health problems. A lot of first responders here had to be tested for a long time afterwards because of what they were exposed to.

Sure Kid, but if this happened in East St Louis there would be a lot to see, 24 hour coverage on every news outlet in the country.
