Ohio Town Evacuated After Gas Line Bursts

An Ohio town was ordered to evacuate today after pressure buildup caused a gas line explosion, igniting at least a dozen fires, the AP reports. Most were put out by late morning, and the remaining two were under control; no injuries have been reported. The evacuation order was ultimately ditched as authorities told the 3,000 residents of Fairport Harbor to instead turn off their gas lines and stay inside.
