This past Saturday, our part of town became breaking news across the Houston area. About 1/4 mile from our house, a pipeline explosion occurred. We were gone out to eat luckily but all the houses in our neighborhood shook like it was an earthquake and the access roads to our neighborhood were shut down for hours. Three hours later when we came home, we had to beg the police officers to let us pass through to go home. Our dogs were fine and since then our area has become a sort of tourist attraction with people pulling over on the side of Fry Road and standing on the roofs of their cars, straining to see a glimpse of the scorched area.

The above picture was taken at the intersection of Fry Road and FM 529. We live north of there, closer to the accident. The flames were 40 feet tall and the heat was felt up to a mile away.
