Another Gas Well Explosion Rocks Families’ Christmas

December 26, 2007 By TXsharon

Another gas well exploded in Louisiana on Sunday and the 15 evacuated families still can’t go home.


There was a loud bang then flames shot up 300 – 400 feet. Firefighters, Sheriffs deputies and hazardous materials teams were called to the scene.

It is believed that a natural gas pocket was hit during drilling causing the drilling rig to explode into flames.

On Christmas Eve, residents were told that it would be 2-3 days before they could return home while the emergency crews bring things under control.

“We just heard a loud bang in the house,” said Melea Gauntt, who along with her family, had to leave her home. “We had a friend coming over and he said there was a fire right down the road. So, I ran outside and looked and saw that the derrick was on fire.”

This is the 3rd gas well explosion and fire in that area in 3 months.
