AP - Explosion rocks Texas refinery, injuring 19
More than 400 employees evacuated from Valero Energy Corp. plant

Updated: 11:07 p.m. MT Feb 16, 2007

SUNRAY, Texas - An explosion rocked a west Texas refinery Friday, injuring at least 19 people and sparking a blaze that sent a huge black cloud billowing into the sky.

Three people with burns were in critical condition Friday night, a nursing supervisor said. Sixteen others were hospitalized, mostly for smoke inhalation, and all but four were released by late Friday, a hospital official said.

No fatalities were reported and all employees at the Valero McKee Refinery were accounted for, said Valero Energy Corp.

More than 400 workers were evacuated from the Valero McKee Refinery after the explosion, authorities said.
