Massive explosion at crude oil refinery rocks Texas city
March 24, New York Post - A massive explosion at a Texas crude oil refinery shot up towering plumes of dark smoke and physically shook locals’ homes before they were ordered to shelter in place on Monday.
A loud boom resounded throughout the western part of Port Arthur, Texas, on Monday afternoon when part of a Valero refinery exploded, local outlets reported.
Clouds of black smoke spilled out of the refinery, sparking health concerns among residents and forcing city officials to put out a shelter-in-place order for the west end.
One resident at the scene told 12News that the entire area reeked of rotten eggs — a smell commonly associated with sulfur.
