    Didn't another big refinery blowup a week or so back?

    Update Fire is out.
    SUPERIOR, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities say a smoky refinery fire that forced many residents of Superior, Wisconsin, to evacuate is out.
    Douglas County officials posted an update Thursday evening saying the fire is extinguished but asking residents in the evacuation area to stay away from their homes for at least another two hours.
    An explosion rocked the Husky Energy oil refinery in Superior on Thursday morning. Authorities earlier said the fire was out, but it later reignited, sending up billowing clouds of thick, black smoke.
    It was unclear how many people were being evacuated, but Superior Mayor Jim Paine said most of the city was being evacuated.
    At least 11 people were hurt. Hospital officials said only one of the injured was seriously hurt, with what was described as a blast injury. No deaths were reported, and officials said all workers had been accounted for.
