A large explosion at an oil refinery near the Texas coast on Monday shot plumes of smoke into the air and forced nearby residents to shelter in place, according to officials.
No one was injured in the explosion at the Valero refinery in Port Arthur, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) east of Houston, Mayor Charlotte M. Moses said. She urged residents in parts of the west side of the city to stay put, saying fire fighters had arrived.
The explosion comes amid a spike in gas prices driven by uncertainty over the global oil supply because of the Iran war.
Are you suggesting that someone is attacking the US with meteorites? And how do they “mysteriously appear twice”? How tight is your tinfoil hat?
You watch the final season of The Expanse? Be the perfect weapon.
Yes. But I have no reason to believe that space terrorists are attacking Texas. Even if they should be…
More like they weren’t meteors as the news stations claimed, but failed/intercepted strikes. Not saying that’s the case, I won’t pretend to be knowledgeable enough about weapons to say anything. Just seems odd we’re seeing a spike in rare events like that when there’s also a huge spike in drone/missile strikes worldwide. It just wouldn’t surprise me at all to learn some of this astronomical/meteorological stuff was more man-made than originally claimed is all.
Or it might aliens.
