I figured everyone has already heard about this, but I thought I would show you guys what I saw from my backyard fence. We thought the house was hit by a plane at first. I took this pic about 5 minutes after it happened.
Refinery Explosion behind my house

If that's a gasoline refinery, there goes the prices again!!!!!!!!!! The crooked c**ks**kers (oil companies) will use this as the newest excuse to raise the prices by .25/gallon. As though this is the only damn refinery in the nation. :x
CNN has some good pictures of it...they said the blast was felt 40 miles away..

Here are some aerials from a friend of mine. As for the house, I have a couple of small crackes in my bedroom windows and the attic hole cover was blown up into the attic. Nothing serious for me. Plenty of others in town reported glass and roof shingle damage.
and think of the lawsuits!!
that's why we need more diesels--much less explosive :lol: thank god you and your house are all right, but save the receipts for your repairs then make the company pay for them. 😀
Gas has already gone up by 9 cents a gallon today because of this problem. IT also went up another 5 or 6 cents a few days ago when Hugo Chavez said Petrolias de Venezuela would stop selling us gas if he lost a lawsuit. Seems the Communist Chavez nationalized some foreign oil investments and stole money from US, British and French companies and he's pissed that we want our money back....
