Did St Marks Powder Plant survive Hurricane Michael?

[noshow]

Has anyone determined that St Marks has survived the devastation from Michael? They manufacture the lion's share of small arms powder in the US. CNN was monitoring it, but no recent updates: https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/10/weath...rnd/index.html

St. Marks Powder is a ball propellant manufacturing plant in Crawfordville, Florida. "Ball propellant" is essentially analagous to gunpowder, and is highly explosive.

Sigh, "highly explosive", =PETN, TNT, Nitroglycerin, AMFO...+
One would think reporters could get their facts straight but that might I guess that is not important any more.

Bad luck for all those people in Florida, I wish them the best.

Hey Dudedog, thanks for clearing that up and putting that threat to rest! It's good to know we will have powder in the future <(

I had to laugh. The CNN headline made it sound like a hurricane had never hit the Gulf coast before ! They simply assume everyone else is as dumb and corrupt as Ray Nagin, the mayor of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina.

Already under discussion.
