When Lightening Strikes

Haven't read it yet, but Texas Monthly has a story this month on Eva Rowe, the woman who fought the giant oil company BP in a lawsuit over its deadly Texas refinery explosion that killed both her parents. It's apparently not an entirely pretty portrait--a study in what happens to people who suddenly get too much money--but interesting nonetheless. (Subscription required..)
