Nathan Mutschelknaus of Dover, an employee of the group home owned and operated by Horizons Inc., was an eye-witness to the explosion.
“I was out back, pressure-washing the porch and moving some of the furniture when the ground started to shake. I was looking over at the oil well, wondering what was shaking.
Next thing I know, I heard the loud explosion and felt the shockwave,” Mutschelknaus told The Times-Reporter.
The explosion sent a storage tank cover 100 feet into the air. The cover landed 50-yards away from its original location.
