When I was driving back to the South Bay from Downey, I saw a plume of smoking rising up along the horizon.
Lo and Behold, there was a flare-up out of the Torrance refinery.
I was worried that big problems were swarming the refinery again.
The flare-up subsided ultimately.
Check out the smoke and the fire as I was driving south on Crenshaw and then West along Del Amo Boulevard:
