GAS LINE RUPTURE: S of Houstonia, Missouri
A 30 inch pipe ruptured (like the one a few years ago that took out a neighborhood in Cali) no reports of injuries at this time, a 5 mile radius has been evacuated.
To put the severity of this explosion in perspective It was felt/heard and can still be seen up to 40 miles away in Houstonia and Bunceton.

Tell Amazon.com to switch from dirty to clean energy:
