lived in Douglas WY was severely burned when their gas-filled water well exploded. Her stupid husband, who'd lit a cigarette while they were recapping their well, was seriously burned too. My sister-in-law was 5 months pregnant at the time, and the baby was born with her heart exposed and with underdeveloped lungs. The baby lived two hours. My sister-in-law still has awful burn scars. Her husband did too. He died of cancer about five years ago.

Their house always smelled of gas because of the water, which of course, was undrinkable.
