April 13Apr 13 10412 Double Spur is the address according to the fire chief. EDIT: 24 homes damaged, 2 critical patients Edited April 13Apr 13 by jimmyjazz
April 13Apr 13 TCAD says the home is in the name of a trust by "Marshall C. & Laverne Johnston". A little digging indicates they were prominent botanists. No idea if they lived in the home or if it was their heirs.
April 13Apr 13 That doesn't mean they didn't have a propane tank. We do, we also have no natural gas service on our street.
April 13Apr 13 I'm about a quarter mile away. Had to reset a breaker. I was at the bottom on the hole when it happened (seriously). So doubters, suck it! (of course home is 100 miles away from hole, but hey, 183A toll to 29 now open).

My earlier message indicated I thought it was 10410. That was based on photos from 10407. Looks like 10412 blew up and took down 10410 with it.

I walk past it multiple times per week. I mistakenly thought it was the source of the explosion, not 10412, which was clarified by the fire chief. Regardless, crappy for all involved.

April 13Apr 13 Holy crap, I heard this all the way from Bee Cave. It made me jump and the dogs started barking. I would have guessed it was no more than a mile away. Maybe it was a modern day David Hahn? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hahn

On September 27, 2016, at the age of 39,[15] Hahn died in his hometown of Shelby Charter Township, Michigan.[15][16] His death was ruled an accidental result of intoxication from the combined effects of alcohol, fentanyl, and diphenhydramine.
