Godzilla, thanks for pulling it all together. It's a good summary. I had some extra thoughts later last night.
Three lamps east, two west - Three sunrises and two sunsets, possibly counting down from the date of the post, which would put it at sunrise on the 7th.
necturly passes she lips - natural gas ships, if interpreted phonetically. A very large potential target, which in fact would do the damage of a WMD if detonated a certain way.
I also had another thought on the term "dragon blew fire, shakes the sand" dragon blew fire: volcano shakes the sand: earthquake
Someone else here made a good observation that a refinery at night looks like a "lawn of golden jewels"
This is confusing me. I didn't see this on post 785.
