wed.

a propane tanker ran off the road and fell 80 ft. into a ravine off the hwy. the view from the deck was intence. we were asked to leave our home around 9:45 am. they didn't know if the tank would blow. the smoke you see is from the cab burning. i heard the tires blow - like cannons.
wed. afternoon they started burning off the propane in the tank. estimated time was 20 hrs. thurs. we heard they may be done by 1pm. around 4pm we broke through the barracades and went home. fri. morn they were still burning... finally done around 10am and the hwy reopened at 11. with the winds being what they were - this could have been MUCH worse. we are thankful. i HEAR they have only taken a break and will burn the rest out on mon. and pull the tanker out. driver suffered little injuries - but after the crash was seen walking on top of the 9,300 gal tank with the cab burning. how stupid is that?!?
