Add to ORKGCaption: Reservoir #4 fire at Potrero del Llano, where 4,000,000 barrels of oil burned for nearly a week. The roar of the flames could be heard for 15 miles, while the skies were filled with thick, black smoke, which finally descended in part in the form of "rain" drops, half water & half carbon. Zig-zag lightening was a prominent feature. Potrero del Llano field, V. C., Mexico
