Mo. City Woman Survives Blast That Destroys Home, Shakes Neighborhood

A Missouri City woman was hospitalized early Thursday morning after surviving an explosion that destroyed her home, shaking the ground and rattling windows for blocks around.

Ann Patterson Smith, 68, is in the Memorial Hermann intensive care unit, but apparently is doing remarkably well. Her house, at 3403 Covey Trail in Quail Valley, was destroyed by fire after the blast, a Missouri City Police Department spokesman said.

“When we got there, it was gone,” Missouri City Fire Department spokesman Lee Atchison said of the house. Police officers and a neighbor found Smith in the back yard of her property and called for an ambulance, he said.

Smith is the sister of Precinct 4 Fort Bend County Commissioner James Patterson. A spokeswoman at Patterson’ s office said the commissioner visited his sister and “she’s doing fine. She has some burns, but she’s doing fine.”

Windows in neighboring houses broke during the explosion, which rocked the neighborhood. One Quail Valley resident, who lives less than 2,000 feet from Smith, said his family was awakened by the blast at about 12:15 a.m. . .(click title link above for the rest of the story)
