Hereford Farm Road residents might have heard or felt several large blasts or rumbles this morning between 9:30 and 9:45, Columbia County emergency officials say, but the work was routine blasting by a contractor at Allen Farms subdivision.
According to an e-mail from Pam Tucker, director of county emergency and operations division, there might be other explosions in the days ahead, and residents should not be alarmed.
And I thought it was a potato gun. BTW who would buy into a subdivision that had to have explosives to loosen the soil? What is going to happen when a big rain comes and the water can't percolate into the soil?
Well, a subdivision sitting on top of a granite seam would not be too likely to have "soil instability" and won't need Mount Valley to come and shore up their homes a few years down the road.
"...with just two of their patented steel piers..."
disss that is for people that don't want to cut grass...lol like me. I live on that rock bed BUT the grass still grows..I have got to get some goats.
Another blasted subdivision! When will they ever stop?
They will stop. Once they reach maximum density north of I-20. You see, according to the Columbia County Commissars, nothing exists south of that line.
