Certainly possible Most of the utilities are a public/private hybrid. I don't have any gas, so I can't say how it works here. I'm off to sleep. Hoping for the best for all of those people. Good night, all.

That one looked like nothing left but popsicle sticks. Twitter feed saying a small earthquake may have been a factor... There was a 4.3 in Kentucky. I'm thinking they were feeling things blow up underground before it surfaced. Hi. My name is yurintroubl and I'm a disaster addict.

They have meetings for that. A lot of coffee and cigarettes are involved.

I thought that's where I was. My mistake. I guess all these people do seem a little pervy for natural disaster junkies.

I'm overloading on potential double entendre-laden responses.

The major news outlets don't seem to be running with this story yet.

This story is getting creepy with the ordering of people not to talk to the news

It left a crater? Has to be a gas line, right? That's what happen in California a couple of years ago.

I've read where witnesses said the smell of gas was overwhelming. On one of the local news channels, they just said the gas company tested and found nothing, but shut off the gas to 26 homes as a precautionary measure. So, who knows.
