La. town evacuates as police move 6M pounds of explosives illegally stored in warehouses

Washington Post:

Weather could complicate the transfer of roughly 6 million pounds of explosives that state officials say were haphazardly stored at an industrial site in northwestern Louisiana and led to the evacuation of a small town, a state police spokeswoman said Monday.

 

If lightning is spotted within five miles of the site, authorities will suspend efforts to move the artillery propellant that began on Saturday, Lt. Julie Lewis said.
