All shook up!
A pressure wave from a blasting operation at the Rogers Group run rock quarry on Highway 53 in Liberty last week sent shock waves through the area as a few residents and businesses experienced some damage including broken windows.
According to the State Fire Marshall’s Office, the blasting by Austin Powder Shooting was a little over pressurized exceeding the state allowable level of 140db.
If you experienced damage from the incident, you may contact the blasting company’s insurance company at 216-310-4719. Others with concerns may contact Joe Baker at the State Fire Marshall Office at Joe.baker@tn.gov or call 615-478-2549.
