Natural Gas Pipeline Explosion 10 Miles Away From My House!

Last night, at about 1:00 AM, people a couple of towns over from me woke up to a natural gas pipeline explosion. The flames were 500-600 feet high, and I've heard reports that the flames could be seen from towns over 80 miles away (we live in the prairies, so no hills or mountains to obstruct the view).

We didn't hear about it till we saw it on Facebook the next morning. Hydro workers had to shut off gas to nine communities and the surrounding country (including our area) to extinguish the flames and to work on repairs.
