JOHNSON COUNTY -- Residents are reporting an explosion in Johnson County near the town of Bono, and television reports are saying that six people are injured. The source and exact location were not immediately clear. But residents in Pecan Plantation, a private golf community in Granbury, reported hearing a loud, startling explosion around 2:30 p.m.
Michael McDonald, a resident of Pecan Plantation, said his daughter was playing outside when he heard and felt a large boom and ran outside.
“It felt like the pictures were going to come off the wall,” he said. “It sounded like a space shuttle is taking off.”

Steven Lindsey, a spokesman for Quicksilver Resources, said that the explosion was close to the company's compressor station next to Pecan Plantation, but that the plant wasn't involved.
