Texas Natural Gas Facility Explodes, Kills Three

-- WFAA TV 8 reported on June 7, 2010:

"A natural gas facility has exploded near Cleburne in Johnson County killing three, according to the Cleburne city manager, Chester Nolen.

At least three people are missing and several people have been transported to hospital with burn injuries.

A massive fireball and a huge plume of smoke can still be seen in the area.

Officials said workers apparently hit the underground line while digging.

“About 2:40 p.m., we heard a loud explosion, rumbling, almost like a tornado. It shook our entire house. The plume of smoke that came out or steam is heading this way, the wind is blowing it right over our house. We are trying to work out whether it is something we need to evacuate or not," said Laura Harlin in Johnson County."
