I saw the warning signs on the highway downtown. What's going on? That's about a 3 mile stretch of a pretty busy road.

edit:
d'oh... better stay away people, unless you're big fans of traffic!

A heavy equipment operator was badly burned this afternoon when the trenching machine he was operating stuck a natural gas line on Northwest Military Highway just south of Huebner Road, 1200 WOAI news reports.

The incident sparked a spectacular fire which shot thick, black smoke and orange flames several hundred feet into the air.

That's messed up... seems like it wasn't too long ago that there was another accident like this at Huebner and Blanco Rd.

Glad that my neighborhood isn't one without power!
