Occurred on December 25, 2019 / Port Neches, Texas, USA

Info from Licensor: "On Thanksgiving Eve, my family was awoken by an unbelievably loud noise at 1 am. I honestly thought our home had blown up on the side of the house where my daughter was. I flew out of bed and she did too. We met in the center of the house, opened the front door and saw a massive fire explosion. We knew it was one of the local refineries. One of our biggest fears of living in this area. We didn't go back to sleep. Then it happened again, approximately 12 hours later, we had another explosion that sent a tower in the air like a rocket. It was at that point that we decided to evacuate. Our home took a lot of damage but amazingly, there were no fatalities at that refinery."
