August 26th 2023 marks the two year anniversary of the Wheatley explosion.

On June 3rd 2021, a state of emergency was declared and some residents were evacuated after gas was detected in the area.
Approximately 2 weeks later on June 19th, fire officials allowed the residents back into their homes.
On August 4th, the Province officially launched an investigation into the incident and there were more evacuations.
Then on August 26th, 2021 at approximately 6:13 p.m., a gas explosion occurred at 15 Erie Street North.
It wasn't until October 13th 2021, that officials announced that the cause of the explosion was naturally occurring gas.

Residents were not allowed back in their residence to collect belongings until November 17th 2021.

Around the second week of December, the damaged buildings were demolished on the northeast and northwest corner of the main intersection.

On December 23rd, a second well was discovered followed by a third well on January 26th 2022.

On April 13th, 2022, the evacuation zone was reduced allowing some residents to return to their homes.

On November 18th, 2022, a class action lawsuit was launched against the Corporation of the Municipality of Chatham-Kent.

With some estimates of $20 million dollars in damages, work still continues to this day while an orange windsock is still visible at the northeast corner of the intersection depicting prevailing wind direction.
