From the El Paso Times:

“Scores of photographs taken by state emergency-management officials show that when floodwaters rise in Texas, they inundate oil wells and fracking sites, sweeping crude and noxious chemicals into rivers throughout the Lone Star State.

Most recently, rainbow sheens and caramel plumes can be seen radiating from tipped tanks and flooded production pads during the March flood of the Sabine River, which forms much of the state’s boundary with Louisiana. Similar scenes are visible in photos from last year’s floods of the Trinity, Red, and Colorado rivers. …

In other areas, cattle that drank the fracking fluid actually died an hour after drinking it. There are potential carcinogens that can lead to leukemia, brain cancer and other endocrine disruptors that can affect premature births.”

Paul,

Flooding affects all manner of business, not just the oil and gas industry. For example - fertilizer companies, drug stores (releasing toxic drugs), chemical companies on and on.

Flooding is a natural disaster, not one caused by the oil and gas industry.

This is just more of your fear mongering.
