This is the state of Texas's fault because half the cities there have no real zoning ordinances and you can have residential & business/industrial right on top of each other.

Huston is one of the absolute worst for doing that shit. You should never have houses anywhere near a fertilizer plant much less the refineries they have all over out there. This exact same shit has happened before in Texas with refineries yet they never change a damn thing.
