It's not like there is one chemical plant. The plants start on the east side of town, and they pretty much go all the way to Beaumont. The night-time view Eastward from the top of the ship channel bridge is best described as "Hell at Christmas time". Lights and flares stretching to the horizon.

There are a few times I've been in Pasadena (the town East of Houston), and I've just started retching from the smell. I don't understand how anyone can live there (and my father did for many years.)
