Evacuees in Crosby press officials over gas well blast
More than 200 Crosby residents gathered at the Crosby United Methodist Church auditorium to demand answers from a panel of officials tied to the exploding natural gas well. Officials from Louisiana Gas Development Corp and OGM Land Corp faced questions about evacuation, health concerns, and communication while the fire, burning since 1 a.m. Wednesday, continued from the Bohemian Hall site. About 15 families have evacuated to the La Quinta Inn off I 10 and Garth Road. Roy Hardy voiced frustration over limited information and nonworking contact lines as the community awaits updates.
