    Following the massive explosion at the Watson Grinding and Manufacturing facility late last month in northwest Houston which killed two people, several homes and businesses in the immediate area also suffered serious damage. One of those included Houston Corvette Service which says 17 vintage Corvettes worth $1 million may have to be written off. Image Credit: Corvette Houston Service/Facebook

    The explosion, likely caused by an electric spark that ignited a propylene leak, is still under investigation. The early morning explosion was so powerful it affected over 450 homes and businesses. Image Credit: Corvette Houston Service/Facebook
