CLEBURNE, Texas (AP) — At least 10 people are reported missing after an explosion that sounded like a tornado caused a massive fire in rural north-central Texas.
Cleburne city manager Chester Nolen tells the Dallas-Fort Worth television station WFAA that Monday’s explosion left at least 10 people missing, and a city fire official said at least six were injured.
A witness in nearby Granbury tells The Associated Press she was about 8 miles from the site of the explosion. Laura Harlin says she heard a “huge rumbling” that she thought was thunder and then a tornado.
Television images showed a large fireball and a burned out vehicle and construction equipment.
Cleburne is about 50 miles southwest of Dallas.
