I kept seeing the flicker from the flare on our piping last night and it would freak me out for a second. Especially in the flammable areas.

I was outside last night off Perkins Road and could see a flicker of orangish-reddish light off the clouds from the direction of the river. I couldn't figure out what it could be from but now I'm guessing it was from the flare.

apparently it only seems large because it is night time.

Yeah they changed the stream to something that was burning so hot it was damn near white last night. It was very bright and hurt your eyes to look at. And you are directly across the river from Dow.

When I can walk outside at night and hear the pressure wave from the flare billowing... 16 miles away, it is too big

Screw a headlight, gimme a compound bow and just wait for the plant to screw something up.

A flare with no black smoke is a good indication that it is mostly clean burning fuel gas that is being burned.
