Memories of local 2001 explosion

In late January, 2001, a gas explosion happened in our downtown. Gas was trapped underground after leaking from a storage area west of town.
The second picture is one of several "burn off" torches that were constructed in different parts of the town to get rid of any excess gas.
It was a very scary situation.
Nothing to compare what happened in New York the following September, however.
