California: Fuel Storage Tanks Explode at NuStar Facility Outside San Francisco
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In California, two fuel storage tanks exploded at a Nu Star Energy
facility in Crockett, outside San Francisco, Tuesday. The fire burned
for nearly eight hours and shut down part of Interstate 80. Nu Star says
it's investigating whether Monday's 4.5 magnitude earthquake nearby
could have contributed to the explosion at the facility.
