I heard a huge explosion and found out it was across the street from my place, Dale and Deloria's home. It was an explosion on their deck, two of them actually, giant balls of fire. These are photos I took while standing on my deck.
Linda is watching closely as her place is next door.
This morning, I was awake at 5:00am and decided to see what it looked like. I saw a little pocket of flames near the original explosion location, so I called 911, and they came to put it out and add more water throughout the entire place. I hear it is not unusual to have these flares happen.
I found out from this morning's gatherers that the fire was caused by a leak from a propane tank on a grill. Dale was lighting the grill when the explosion happened. He is in the hospital now, in a fight for his life. He did have the wherewithal to stop, drop, and roll, and we hope that is enough to save him.
I am still in awe of the size of those two explosions. It is something I have never seen before and hope to never see again!
Pete and Linda's place next door has some melted siding. It is going to be okay.
