Teacher, I was getting out for school in the Sugarland Area; I thought someone had been shot as I was driving a low sports car and had left foor on gournd and felt that explosion. I went in to secretary and had her phone her state trooper husband to find out what had happened. Yes, our state needs to have enough employees to check pipelines; I had one that leaked in my yard and was bubbling--had a difficult time getting new lines to home. Finally, finally told the my cousin had worked for TRRC and was now with OCHA (sp. Soon, oters complained; they laid new lines up and down major roads and to our houses. All this time I thought you were a Shelby C. teacher!!! I am very proud of our TX Gas Discoveries; however, we should really work for Safety.
I remember in Indiana seeing a water well driller hitting pockets of gas and mud and gravel blowing from the pipe. They said they had some kind of equipment they had to put on the wells in that area to separate the gas from the water.
I know this is serious to the guys that were working, but .... ROTFLMDO!!!! Sorry, my creative imagination sees something like a scene from "The Holy Grail." Run away!!!
