Updated (again): Smoke near Long Beach, CA apparently a refinery fire (reported as planned burn). [View all] cbayer Sep 2012 OP

Are there still oil refineries there? Cleita Sep 2012 #1

There are oil fields, but I don't know about refineries. cbayer Sep 2012 #2

Post when you find out. Cleita Sep 2012 #4

I'm just a few minutes south of Long Beach and haven't seen anything. aint_no_life_nowhere Sep 2012 #3

I'm seeing it from Catalina. Looks like it might be right at the end of Palos Verdes or even behind cbayer Sep 2012 #7

I'm North of there , googled and nothing up yet goclark Sep 2012 #14

Maybe the smoke is from the fire near the Getty Center? They are calling it the Sepulveda fire.. left coaster Sep 2012 #5

Sepulveda pass is pretty far from Long Beach. n/t Cleita Sep 2012 #6

Definitely not coming from Sepulveda Pass. cbayer Sep 2012 #8

Um, yeah, I'm aware of that having lived in L.A. most of my 54 years.. left coaster Sep 2012 #9

It looks like it is going straight up off Palos Verdes. cbayer Sep 2012 #10

I'm not being critical. Sorry if it came across like that. Cleita Sep 2012 #12

smoke seen on this Long Beach webcam Sedona Sep 2012 #16

That looks like it's coming out of a smoke stack or chimney of some sort. lpbk2713 Sep 2012 #18

Just called my friend in Palos Verdes goclark Sep 2012 #20

That is definitely it. Is it coming from a smokestack? cbayer Sep 2012 #19

Still nothing on google other then this Post on DU goclark Sep 2012 #17

In light of no news on this, this must be something normal for the refinery. cbayer Sep 2012 #21

Except that the refineries usually don't operate on weekends. Cleita Sep 2012 #22

It may have to do with the heat. We are just a little skittish about fires right now. cbayer Sep 2012 #23

there's no way this can be "normal" Sedona Sep 2012 #24

Husband is a flight instructor, teaching around Torrance, texted me about this... wolfwatcher Sep 2012 #25

Thanks for that wolfwatcher. Definitely coming from a smokestack in that video. cbayer Sep 2012 #31

Thanks for that, Linlab. cbayer Sep 2012 #30

I noticed they moved it too! wolfwatcher Sep 2012 #32

Procedural refinery burn off? That seems like a bad idea in light of the current conditions, but cbayer Sep 2012 #33

Or they could be lying about it to not alarm people, Cleita Sep 2012 #34

We shall see. It looks like it is slowing down, but you think they would make this cbayer Sep 2012 #36

Yep, everyone is kind of anxious. This island is ripe for a fire as well, so we hope they haven't cbayer Sep 2012 #42
