Refinery question… Sammy?

Live in San Pedro most of my life and near refineries... my first house had a gorgeous view of the 76 refinery form the back yard... the orange glow from the flames would light the inside of the house at night... and that hydrogen explosion several years back over in Wilmington... I had the back and front doors open, the concussion wave went through the house and hit me as I sat on the couch... ran out to the back yard to see a mushroom cloud... thought it was the end of the world for a minute there.

My question is this, They have those big stacks burning or smoking mildly most of the time... but ever once in a while KABOOM big old fire ball goes shooting into the sky.

What is going on there?
