Any news on the oil refinery fire in Texas?

Can any of you locals see it?

That's Gulf Coast area. Apparently, it's out.

There's a fire?

Someone put a pig on it. It's time for a bar-b-que.

Yes, it was an explosion. No, it was a big fire. Growing up in Houston this is more common that I'd like to admit. Although I dont think it had that much to do with oil prices going up.

As silly as it may sound.. the prices did go up slightly on that news.

but prices go through the roof if someone sneases in the middle east to.

I live about 10-15 miles north of the "fire"

Highly over rated. Things like this are quite common around here.

Another case of the news going ballistic over nothing.
