The top local stories this morning from KERA News:

The search resumes today for a worker missing since yesterday's chemical plant explosion in Cresson in Hood County, but it's now a recovery effort.

That means if the worker's still in the Tri-Chem Industries wreckage, officials believe he's likely dead. Crews found nothing before they called off the search last night. Two workers were taken to hospitals after the explosions. One had life-threatening burns.
