Two explosions were reported at a flooded chemical plant in Texas and experts worry more explosions could occur

Explosions have been reported at a chemical plant near Houston, Texas, which was hit by flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey.

The Arkema plant in Crosby, Texas, is about 25 miles (40 kilometers) north east of Houston. It lost power and its backup generators amid Harvey's deluge, leaving it without refrigeration for chemicals that become volatile as the temperature rises.
