Imperial Sugar Refinery Explosion

As I am sure everyone is aware by now, there was an explosion last night at the Imperial Sugar Refinery in Port Wentworth. Fire Departments, EMS Services, Law Enforcement Agencies, and medevac helicopter services from throughout the area and state responded to assist. This is easily the biggest incident in the Savannah area since 1995's Powell-Duffryn explosion.
