There was a huge oil refinery explosion on Monday at Big Spring that shook the town and even some surrounding towns. My sister-in-law lives about 30 miles away and said they could feel the boom! According to Fox News, there were 4 injuries. One with serious burns and the others treated and released. From what I understand, the blast was so powerful that it forcefully opened a schools admin. doors that was 4 miles away. HOLY COW! It was also said to shatter several windshields! Interstate 20 was closed down for a long time because of the fumes and smoke which made for quite the traffic jam. I bet ya these workers go to get a life insurance quote after this ordeal! What do you think?
