Our pipeline just blew up
Nobody was hurt, as far as I can tell. Maybe an oyster boat caught the pipeline with its dragline. Besides the impressive video, the main effect seems to be that our peninsula will be without natural gas for the foreseeable future. Luckily we're on a propane tank, being the extra-boonified section of this part of the boonies.

Good no one was hurt. Let us know if there is anything we can do, although knowing you I assume you would be fine even if you weren't on a propane tank.
I'm just up the road in Plano, if you need anything. Or even if you don't....

If Warren Buffet's railroad had been transporting your gas, just as his railroad transports oil that would otherwise be transported on the Keystone Pipeline, this wouldn't have happened.

No, I'm pretty sure it was the Koch Brothers!
Actually, I was amazed to hear today that the gas people already have patched the pipe. I had no idea they could get in there and do it so quickly. From the video, it looked like something that would be very hard to fix. So everyone has their gas back--and of course ours never went off.
Well, you know, duct tape works well under water, too. And natural gas solidifies bubble gum. Easy peasy.
