It's Day Six for workers moving millions of pounds of explosives that state police say had been improperly stored at a the Camp Minden industrial site in northwestern Louisiana.
When work was suspended for the night Wednesday, officials estimated that about 2 million of the estimated 6 million pounds at the Explo Systems Inc. site had been safely moved and stored. The discovery of the explosive propellant last week prompted the voluntary evacuation of the nearby town of Doyline, although officials say many of the town's 800 people chose to stay.
The evacuation order is to be re-evaluated at midday Thursday as the operation continues.
