Imagine coming home from a long day at work, only to find your front yard has been damaged by hundreds of gallons of water after a fire hydrant exploded.
Then picture finding out the only reason it happened is because a driver crashed into it before taking off.
That’s exactly what happened to a family in Thomasville.
While things are usually slow around Cunningham Road, it was a different story around noon on Thursday.
“It looked like a volcano erupted out here,” said Isaac Sain, the homeowner.
The high-pressure water flowing from the hydrant, rushed through the front yard, onto their driveway and all the way into the pond behind their house.
While the water has dried up, leaving soggy grass and rocks in the front yard, this could have been an even more dangerous situation had their kids been outside.
