Monday, June 7th, at 2:40 p.m. a natural gas facility in Hood County, Texas exploded. Ten people are missing and three died. The explosion was south of Granbury, near Pecan Plantation.
UPI news says, "Hood County Fire Marshal Brian Fine told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram the workers were missing after a work crew hit a gas pipeline while digging a trench. Officials urged residents to stay in their homes so emergency responders could have full access to the rural roads to the site."
Durango Texas reports, "Firemen from 8 different fire departments have surrounded the site of the explosion. Parkland Hospital, in Dallas, is expecting burn victims to be brought to their specialist burn unit."
Fire crew will have to wait for the gas line to shut off and the fire to burn itself out. Smoke and flames from the fire can be seen for miles.
Officials say the gas line will be shut off and the fire will be allowed to burn itself out.
When such tragedies happen, sometimes people think the victims were guilty of some specific offense. Jesus addressed this his questioner in Luke 13. "No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."
