HYSPLIT Supports Response to Propane Leak in Shell Knob, MO.
NOAA WFO Springfield responded to a propane leak at Shell Knob MO with several HYSPLIT runs on Wednesday, August 3. The WFO ran several simulations as firetrucks cooled the propane tank by ferrying over 175,000 gallons of water from the Shell Knob bridge. Emergency response teams doused the tanks for hours until they were empty.
