What the hell is going on at
Claude? India Road is an isolated, lonely dirt street in rural Armstrong County. The only discernible sound is the buzzing of cars along U.S. Highway 287 and the soft gentle hum of blowing grass.
But late Thursday, the little road only a few hundred feet from the highway took on a new sound entirely: the loud din of voices wondering what caused the ground to open up to create a small cragged canyon hundreds of yards long, and in some places, about 50 feet deep.
"It's unusual," said Burr Cullender, a science teacher at Claude High School. "I haven't seen anything like it in the Panhandle, and I have lived here for a long time."
Unusual? No, 50ยบ June or a Texas snow-storm in
March, or an
Amarillo earthquake is unusual, this is downright freaky. Have none of these people ever seen an Indian Jones movie? Jeesh.
