An EXPLOSION on the farm

Last night when Ryan was checking his water he saw the potato pivot stopped....again, it was already dark and like 10:30 at night so he just shut everything off for the night. He went out to the pivot point to turn it off and he heard a big rumbling and then in the dark he saw the big tank coming at him! It exploded this big tank and water went every where and made a HUGE mess. Luckily it didn't hit Ryan, but it did scare him! So here is a picture of the morning after, I didn't get up early enough to see it before he dug it out and got all of the water out, (yes I do like to sleep in till 7:30 occasionally) the guy is welding the pump (I think that is what he is welding) back together and the big metal tank is laying in the back ground, it was standing up where he is welding, before it exploded, it is like 15 feet tall so it is big. We are glad everything is OK and the water is back on.

The kids checking out the wreckage, and trying hard not to look at the "Fireworks" (the welding sparks)
