If you were in or near Deer Park Tuesday night, the shelter-in-place order is over. The city issued the order Tuesday evening after a Level 3 incident at the Lubrizol facility, telling people to close doors and windows and turn off heating and cooling systems.
Lubrizol said a release of hydrogen sulfide during maintenance on an idled unit prompted the order, KTRH reports.
