Can any of you locals see it?

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.

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.
