It is not completely unusual for stuff to blow up around here. Fort Bend county is part of the Greater Houston area that I live in. The drought and heat around here have been terrible.
Stuff is being pushed to the breaking point due to the brutal heat. My downstairs AC compressor died overnight. Luckily, my AC guy came out this morning and was able to patch it together; replacement scheduled for Tuesday. (AC was at end of life). AC guy says the power line voltage has been low, due to the load of Texans trying to stay cool, and this low voltage is really hard on electrical devices.
I have no idea what caused the gas line to fail. Excessive pressure trying to feed power generators? Ground shifting due to cooking under the Texas Sun? I live in the Katy area and we have a shit ton of pipelines running around here. It is TEXAS, oil/gas and cattle; quite literally.
Gonna be honest and some people won't like it. Sometimes this stuff just happens and it wasn't nefarious.
It may have been, but an awful lot of people end up looking really foolish for jumping to conclusions. Unless or until it is proven otherwise, u/solarsavior makes good points.
