PORT NECHES, Texas — After a number of social media posts on Wednesday night around 9 p.m., 12News reached out to Port Neches Police Chief Paul Lemoine about loud noises being heard in Port Neches.
Lemoine says Lion Elastomers reported they "experienced a breaker flash in the utilities area of their facility."
In a post on the department's page, Lemoine says the flash wasn’t near any hydrocarbons, and no fire was caused. He says there isn't any danger to the community and the all-clear was given over the facility's loudspeaker for personnel.
In a message to 12News, Jefferson County Judge Jeff Branick also reported some noise may be due to the Air Liquide facility restarting after a loss of power on Wednesday night.
