Pretty unusual fire. Seems natural gas seeped into a huge above ground tank of some precursor chemical used in wax products. The tank went with a hell of a boom that was heard 30 miles outside of Houston, and after that everything else in the area got splashed with hot burning wax, so warehouses. etc all started going up as well. They are not even bothering to fight it, they are just going to let it burn itself out. I took a drive out to see it, and given the size of the fire and the continuing explosions, its a wonder no one got hurt.
