TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Many people in the northern portion of East Texas may have heard a big boom Sunday morning.
However, the Freestone County Sheriff’s Office reported that the noise wasn’t anything that people should be worried about.
“I’m sure everyone heard the ‘explosion,’ stated a post on the Freestone County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page. “Everything is OK. That was Big Brown bringing down the two stacks as they continue takedown and cleanup of the mine.”
