It literally was a blast from the past that sent the community in the small town of McCloud on alert by calling, texting, and going on Facebook to find out what the huge explosion was on Wednesday evening, June 25th.
The blast was from a WW-2 grenade that the Shasta County bomb squad detonated on the 400 block of Grove Street. The grenade was found by Anne Deubner McNeil’s adult children as they were cleaning out their mother’s belongings who passed away earlier this year.
