    "An explosion at an auto supply plant in Louisiana caused a massive fire that is still burning one day later — and left local residents fleeing for cover as oil rained down over the area.

    "According to the Louisiana State Police, a chemical explosion took place at around 12:50 p.m. local time on Friday, Aug. 22, at Smitty’s Supply Inc., an auto supply plant in #Roseland, located about 60 miles northeast of #BatonRouge in #Tangipahoa Parish.

    "Police said no injuries have been reported, but the explosion sparked a massive blaze that sent black pillars of smoke into the sky and caused oil to rain down over the region.

    "One resident, who spoke to Fox 8, recalled turning her windshield wipers on when the downpour began.

    " 'My husband was like, 'That's not rain,' " the resident said. "I was like, 'Oh no, it smells like oil. '"
