An explosion late Friday at a petroleum refinery in White Lake Township, MI, caused a large fire that forced the closure of roads and evacuation of nearby residents.
The explosion occurred at about 10:10 p.m. at a refinery in the area of Young and Bogie Lake roads in White Lake Township. People flocked to social media asking about the loud noise, and many from miles away reported feeling the concussion against their house.
A second explosion was heard several minutes later, and flames rose high into the sky, well above the tree line, with a large plume of billowing black smoke that could be seen for miles.
