Spectacular Humble oil farm fire threatens Gulf Production assets
Lightning sparked a massive blaze in Humble Texas tank farms risking over 2 million barrels of oil and more than 5000000 dollars in property.

A nearby Sun Oil storage area reported potential loss prevention. Residents near the scene describe a loud blast and shaking houses as the inferno expands.
