One night we were there watching a 'love' movie

One night we were there watching a ‘love’ movie. Love movies did not hold my interest like a war move, a western or an airplane movie. I was in the back seat only half watching the movie. Behind me the process units of the refinery were cranking out petroleum products. Suddenly, there was an intense light that illuminated the sky, the drive in and all of the parked cars. This was exactly how a nuclear explosion was depicted in the civil defense movies that we saw. I braced myself for the inevitably shockwave but was pretty sure I was going to see Jesus up close and personal in a blink of an eye. The light faded and went out and there was no shockwave. Whew. It turns out that a meteorite had hit the atmosphere over the Texas Louisiana border. This was a humdinger to cause that much light.
