[@Citybabyattackedbyrats-sf7rx]

This is my hometown and I was 16 when this happened. I remember the sink holes freaking me out more than anything. There is still a street that has just been fenced off and you can’t use because it is too close to the sink holes. Which is strange because it’s within 200 ft of houses but wth do I know about that stuff lol. We once got in there with our dirt bikes and had fun riding on the abandoned road. The trailer park that had an explosion was abandoned for a loooong time but is now open and called Flamingo Flats. Probably 10 years ago I was in an abandoned house and found a VHS (which I still have) of a town meeting that was held at the sports arena quickly after the explosions. The town folk were doing classic town folk stuff like grilling the mayor and such. I remember one of the big topics was moving trailers to other parks. Apparently you couldn’t legally move trailers that were manufactured before a certain date. People with mullets and tweety shirts were like “well what’re you gonna do abut it Mr mayor!? It ain’t right goddangit!” And the mayor looked like Abe Lincoln lol.

Someone who lived in Hutchinson during this time described this to me. It was nerve-wracking, but people just had to keep living and hoping. And then something exploded in her neighborhood. It was rattling. It made the ongoing threat all the more real. And then it was found to have been a meth lab. And people were relieved about a meth lab explosion.

[@hotlavatube]

I was reminded of the twin East Boston (1983) and Merrimack Valley (2018) gas incidents. In both incidents, the gas system was accidentally overpressurized, blowing out pilot lights, and filling houses with gas, resulting in many explosions and evacuations.

[@unnecessarydifficulty7881]

Something similar also happened in Fairport harbor in January 2011. 8 buildings were destroyed and a multifamily dwelling. 150 homes were damaged and 1.3 millions dollars in damages occurred. Fairport harbor, a village of 3200 resides on the edge of Lake Erie in Ohio had natural gas serviced by Dominion Energy, they failed to maintain main line gas regulators to the village causing a over pressurization to residential feeder lines. This causes pilot lights to burn out or flare up causing multiple house fires and damage to appliances.

A path one normally wouldn't think of. A combination of natural and man-made origin.

My brother & I went downtown to see what was going on that evening. The fire was still burning. Police had the whole block cordoned off. We asked the police officer why it was still burning & he said they didn't know why. He said they had turned off all of the gas lines in the area & it's still burning. The next day I heard the house trailer explosion & went out back & saw the smoke rising in the air just over the tree lines. That's when the evacuations started. It was a trying time.

I'm 40, grew up on the largest fault line on the west coast (San Andreas road, San Andreas fault) and live around multiple fault lines/earthquake zones now, and in my whole life I've only really experienced ONE that was scary/bad- in 1989. That was wild, our home got cracked so we had to move, the cat was scared, everyone was scared, but also very few casualties for the amount of property damage it did. I haven't even FELT one in years, because they're usually so small nobody notices. If you do feel one, its more like a quick rumble and youre like "what was that? earthquake or a big truck?" and google it to check. in general, if you go outside in a clear area you are safe. But tornados, hurricanes, floods? YIKES. no way to escape! Everything it touches demolished! WHEW now that's nightmare fuel. I'll take standing in the middle of a parking lot and waiting out an few seconds of earthquake any day.

I live in hutch I remember being in kindergarten when it happened and being let out of school and watching CNN at my grandparents house it was a crazy day.

[@lovebugmac1961]

This is my hometown and I had previously lived in that trailer park. My grandmother lived two trailers down from the one that exploded and claimed the lives of the elderly couple that lived there. They were an incredibly sweet couple. The explosion was so large that it knocked my grandmother's trailer of it's foundation and she suffered a broken leg from falling. My grandmother owned and rented two other trailers in the trailer park all of which she lost because of the explosion and subsequent closure of the the trailer park. NASA also had an interest in discovering where the gas was coming from and where the leaks were. The Kansas Space Cosmosphere which is a space museum and part of the Smithsonian Institution houses many NASA artifacts is located practically in the center of town. For months afterward there was a sign posted on private property that said "Welcome to Hell" it was located shortly before the official sign that welcomed you to Hutchinson.
