NW Houston Gas Line Explosion / Fire

Back


This fireball was created by an underground gas line explosion and continued for at least 30 minutes (the news said 2.5 hours). The explosion shook my house for 10 seconds and filled my windows with bright light. You can see small rocks raining down about 2-3 minutes after the explosion. Nobody was killed in the explosion or fire.

Yea, I thought a 747 went down in our neighborhood and that was all the way at Barker Cypress. Funny watching the rocks falling down and the kids trying to take cover.
