As one of those talking on Magnet Cove FD freq we were busy looking for source of the explosion. We had firefighters out checking every big industry in our area with nothing found. Glad to see someone listens to us.

Baroid mine

May have been caused by that big baroid mine. Not sure how deep that thing goes but maybe a tunnel or part of the wall collapsed in.

Over the past week or so, there have been small earthquakes (2-3 on the Richter Scale) in the Dallas-Ft Worth area and in Oklahoma. Has a pattern of quakes begun?
